June 27 marks the 10-year observance of National HIV Testing Day, so why not participate in the anniversary and get yourself checked? Whether you're tested regularly or you're contemplating being tested for the first time, we have information that can make what could be an anxiety-filled experience much easier.
Where can you get tested? Who's at risk? What should you bring with you? What kinds of tests are available? How long will it take to find out? What if you turn out to be HIV-positive?
These are questions everyone has about getting an HIV test. Don't let your uncertainty prevent you from getting tested. Tests are widely available, quick, accurate, confidential and/or anonymous and free or low-cost. Professionally trained counseling staff are on hand at most locations to take you through each step of the process, from making an appointment to dealing with your results and talking to your partner(s).
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have constructed an extremely useful HIV test clinic locator that can help you find a testing center in your area. So go get tested -- knowledge is better than doubt. Click on the link below to find out where!
