Knowing your HIV status gives you the power to live as your true self. Because when you know, you know.
That’s the focus of a new campaign available at azhealth.gov/WhenYouKnow and in a public service announcement that will air across Arizona.
Getting tested is easy and is the only way to know for sure whether you have HIV. Our website helps you understand whether you should get tested, what to do if you think you’ve been exposed, what your test results mean, and next steps to take to maintain your health. It also helps you find a testing location near you and learn what’s involved in testing.
Everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 should get tested for HIV at least once. If you are sexually active, you should get tested more often.
Knowing who you are is powerful. So is knowing your HIV status. If you test positive, there are many treatment options and support programs available to help you, your loved ones, and your contacts stay healthy. People who are HIV-negative are able to take medication to prevent them from getting HIV. People who are HIV-positive and on a routine treatment plan are not able pass the infection to others. Visit our website and take a look at the public service announcement below.
