Should I Get Tested

Getting tested is recommended if any of the following apply to you:

• Have you ever had unprotected anal, vaginal or oral sex (sex without a condom or other latex barrier)?
• Have you shared needles or other equipment to inject drugs (including medication, steroids or hormones) or for body piercing, tattooing, or any other reason?
• Have you ever had sex where you were uncertain about your sexual partner's risk behavior (injection drug user or sex industry worker) or HIV status?
• Have you ever forgotten what happened or blacked out after drinking or taking drugs?
• Have you ever had a sexually transmitted disease such as herpes, chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, or hepatitis?
• Have you ever been sexually assaulted (raped, forced, or talked into having sex when you didn't want to)?
• Have you ever had an unplanned pregnancy?
• Have you been sexually active, particularly with three or more sexual partners in the last 12 months.

If you are unsure of your HIV status and have a current Herpes Simplex Virus infection, Human Papillomavirus Infection, shingles, or thrush of the throat, lungs, or vagina, or recurrent yeast infections, recurring case of pelvic inflammatory disease, it is highly recommended that you get tested for HIV.
