Protecting your health starts with knowledge and action, and getting tested for HIV is a crucial step in maintaining both. HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus, weakens the immune system, making it harder to fight off illnesses and infections. Many people living with HIV in the United States are unaware of their status, highlighting the importance of regular testing. At Someone Cares Inc., we make it easy, accessible, and confidential for you to take this important step in prioritizing your well-being.
Why You Should Get Tested for HIV
Testing for HIV is not just about knowing your status—it’s about empowering yourself to take control of your health and make informed decisions. Early detection through testing allows individuals to:
- Receive early treatment and support
- Prevent further transmission of the virus
- Protect your health and the health of your partner(s)
- Make informed decisions about your sexual and reproductive health
Who Should Get Tested for HIV?
The CDC recommends that everyone aged 13 to 64 include an HIV test in their routine healthcare. However, some individuals are at higher risk and should consider testing more frequently:
- People who have had unprotected sex or have multiple sexual partners
- Men who have sex with men
- People who inject drugs or share needles
- People who have been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (STI)
- People who have had a blood transfusion or organ transplant before 1985
