HIV Positive?

Sure, learning you’re HIV positive can be overwhelming – but it doesn’t have to be. Today, people living with HIV can expect to live long, productive, amazing lives. They have families and relationships, either with other HIV positive people, or with people who don’t have HIV.

But first, we’ve got to get you in care.

Don’t Know Your Status?

Let’s Get You Tested

Why get tested? People who know they’re HIV negative are less likely to put themselves at risk. And people who test HIV positive are more likely to get the medications they need to become virally suppressed – meaning the virus is undetectable and not affecting their overall health. We also know that virally suppressed individuals cannot pass HIV to others.

QUICK AND EASY.

HIV testing is simple, fast and reliable. You have a choice of testing methods – and the test can detect the virus in as little as two weeks following exposure. Best of all – it’s free.
