Did you know that 1 in 8 people with HIV don’t know they have it? That’s why CDC recommends that everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 get tested for HIV at least once as part of routine health care and that high-risk groups get tested more often.
Knowing your HIV status can give you peace of mind—and testing is the only way you can know your HIV status for sure. Together we can reduce the stigma around HIV testing. If more people are talking about it, more people will be comfortable getting tested.
Make HIV testing part of your healthcare routine. It's fast, free, and confidential!
