Could You Be At Risk?
Be aware
Young people are the most likely to be unaware of their infection. According to a CDC analysis, in 2018 an estimated 44.9% of young people aged 13-24 who were living with HIV were unaware of their infection.
How is it spread?
HIV is most commonly spread by having sex or sharing syringes and other injection equipment with someone who is infected with HIV. Certain sexual or behavioral practices can increase your risk of HIV.
Should I get tested?
EVERYONE should be tested for HIV at least once in their lifetime and other STIs at least every 3 months to a year while sexually active, especially when any sexual partner is of unknown STI status.
