1 in 8 People with HIV Don't Know They Have It
The only way to know your HIV status is to get tested.
Our health centers provide confidential HIV testing and preventative services.
Get tested once a year if you:
- Have had anal or vaginal sex with someone who has HIV
- Have had more than one sex partner since your last test
- Don’t consistently use condoms
- Are a man who has sex with other men
- Have shared needles, syringes, other drug injection equipment
- Have been diagnosed with another sexually transmitted disease
In the U.S., HIV is mainly spread by sexual contact or sharing injection equipment.
The risk of HIV transmission can be reduced by:
- Using condoms
- Not sharing injection equipment
- Treatment as prevention: Undetectable = Untransmittable
- Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)
Ask your JPCHC provider about PrEP and help paying for it.
