Who should get tested for HIV?

Everyone should know their HIV status. The only way to do that is by getting tested.

The CDC also recommends you should get tested if you:

-Had sex with someone who has HIV
-Had a new sex partner since their last HIV test
-Shared drug-injection equipment
-Engaged in sex work
-Had another STD
-Had hepatitis B or C or tuberculosis (TB)
-Had sex with someone who falls into any of the above categories
-Had sex with anyone whose sexual history they don’t know
-Anyone who is pregnant or planning to get pregnant should get tested as early in the process as possible. Treatment can prevent women with HIV from passing the virus to the baby.
-Are between the age of 13 and 64
