Take Action!
Protect yourself and others—get tested for HIV.
Find a Place To Get Tested
Ask your doctor or nurse for an HIV test. Or visit an HIV testing center or health clinic. You also can get tested at a hospital or health department.
Enter your zip code to find a testing center near you or call 1-800-CDC-INFO.
Protect Yourself From HIV
The best way to protect yourself from HIV is to not have sex until you are in a relationship with only one person and you have both been tested. Here’s what else you can do to prevent HIV:
- Use a latex condom with lubricant every time you have sex.
- Limit your number of sexual partners.
- Don’t inject drugs or share needles.
- If you have more than one sexual partner, get tested for HIV regularly.
