Where to get tested

 

REASONS TO GET TESTED 

​If you're sexually active or use recreational drugs, you should get tested not just once, but regularly. Its a means of protecting yourself. You owe it to yourself and those who love and depend on you to get tested and stay healthy. You can't protect the health of your family or partner if you don't know your status. HIGH-RISK groups such as sexually active teenagers, poor women of color, men who have sex with men, and people who inject or snort drugs with other people.
