Take Control of Your Health. Get Tested.
CDC recommends that everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 be tested for HIV at least once as part of their routine health care. Testing once a year (or more frequently) is recommended for people at high risk of the virus, such as gay and bisexual men, injection drug users, or people with multiple sexual partners.
It is important to learn your HIV status and that of your partners because studies have shown that when people find out they are living with HIV, they take steps to protect their health and that of their partners. Furthermore, once you learn your status, if you find out that you have HIV infection, you can seek medical care that can reduce the impact of HIV on your health, substantially increase your lifespan, and improve your quality of life.
Locate an HIV or STD testing site near you or text your zip code to KNOWIT (566948). You can also call 1-800-CDC-INFO (1800-232-4636) for assistance in locating a testing site.
