If you answered “Yes” or “I’m not sure” to any of the questions you may be at risk for having HIV. You should consult your doctor and make an appointment to get tested.

If you are afraid to get tested, just keep in mind that HIV can kill you a lot quicker if it goes untreated. There are over 200,000 Americans who have HIV and don’t even know it. Getting the test does not mean that you have HIV, it just means that you want to stay healthy and get any potential problem treated. Most people are afraid to get tested just because of the possibility of hearing the words “You tested positive.” Ignorance is not bliss. With HIV ignorance can be death. Don’t become a statistic, get tested.
