Testing & Treatment

The only way to know for sure whether you have HIV or an STI is to get tested. Knowing your status helps you make health decisions to prevent getting or transmitting HIV or STIs. Treatment is available; it is important to start treatment as soon as possible after diagnosis to improve your overall health and decrease the risk of spreading illness to others. 

Confidential testing and treatment options are available at many local health care facilities, including these community partners:
