Not everyone will have the same symptoms. Learn more about HIV self-testing and which test might be right for you. Some health departments or community-based organizations also provide self-test kits for a reduced cost or for free. You can buy a self-test kit at a pharmacy or online, or your health care provider may be able to order one for you. Self-testing allows people to take an HIV test and find out their result in their own home or other private location. Use the HIV Services Locator to find an HIV testing site near you. HIV medicine will protect your own health as well. If you have HIV and take HIV medicine as prescribed throughout your pregnancy and childbirth and give HIV medicine to your baby for 4 to 6 weeks after giving birth, your risk of transmitting HIV to your baby can be less than 1%. If you are pregnant, you should be tested for HIV so that you can begin treatment if you're HIV-positive.If you test negative, you have more HIV prevention tools available today than ever before, like pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), medicine people at risk for HIV take to prevent getting HIV from sex or injection drug use, and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), HIV medicine taken within 72 hours after a possible exposure to prevent the virus from taking hold.An undetectable viral load is a level of HIV in the blood so low that it can’t be detected in a standard lab test. People with HIV who take HIV medicine (called antiretroviral therapy or ART) as prescribed and get and keep an undetectable viral load can live long and healthy lives and will not transmit HIV to their HIV-negative partners through sex. If you test positive, you can take medicine to treat HIV.Knowing your HIV status gives you powerful information so you can take steps to keep yourself and your partner(s) healthy: You can’t rely on symptoms to tell whether you have HIV. The only way to know for sure if you have HIV is to get tested. Stay up to date with the webinars, Twitter chats, conferences and more in this section.
