National HIV Testing Day

National HIV Testing Day (NHTD) is coming up on Monday June 27th. Now is the time for you to learn your sexual health status. Visit http://www.hivtest.org/ to find an HIV testing site in your area.

Take the Test, Take Control!

It is recommended that sexually active men and women get tested for HIV every year. If you have had sex with someone whose history of sex partners and/or drug use is unknown to you or if you or your partner has had many sex partners, then you have more of a chance of being infected with HIV. Both you and your new partner should get tested for HIV, and learn the results, before having sex for the first time.

The best way to avoid getting HIV and other STDs is to practice safe sex. Always use a condom when having any form of sexual activity and know your sexual health status as well as your partner's sexual status!
