Getting HIV tested can give you some important lifesaving information and can help keep you—and others—safe.
HIV is spread through unprotected sex and drug-injecting behaviors, so people who engage in these behaviors should get tested more often. Knowing your risk can help you make important decisions to prevent exposure to HIV. The CDC has developed the HIV Risk Reduction Tool to help you know risk and for better understanding of how different prevention methods like using condoms or taking PrEP, can reduce your risk. Overall, an American has a 1 in 99 chance of being diagnosed with HIV at some point in his or her lifetime. However, the lifetime risk is much greater among some populations. Read more

Frequently Asked Questions
Although HIV is treatable, experts still advise using condoms during sexual intercourse to prevent HIV. Once a person is HIV positive, transferring the virus to a person can be prevented by making sure you have an undetectable viral status, which can be difficult without the guidance of a health care provider.
Delayed condom use is associated with an increased risk of HIV transmission in both heterosexual and homosexual couples. Many studies have attributed delayed condom use during sex to be riskier than when a condom is put on before sexual intercourse. Studies have also shown that delaying condom use during intercourse carries an increased risk of transmission compared to unprotected sex in women and the same risk of transmission as unprotected sex in men who have sex with other men.
Oral sex, although not without its share of risk, is relatively safer when it comes to HIV transmission. This is because the risk of HIV transmission through oral sex is lower than the risk carried by vaginal and anal sex combined. However, some particular circumstances increase your chances of acquiring HIV through oral sex. It is also important to note that you could get other STDs through oral sex, aside from HIV.
When both partners in a sexual relationship are HIV-positive, they are called HIV seroconcordant sex partners. Having anal or vaginal intercourse with an HIV-infected person when you’re HIV-positive yourself is a good strategy to lower HIV transmission. However, seroconcordant sex partners are still at risk of acquiring other STDs through unprotected sex. Moreover, there is always a strong possibility of reinfection or superinfection in such partners.
Yes. Reducing the risk of developing an HIV infection after getting exposed to it is possible. There is a special emergency medical regime designed for it, known as nPEP. nPEP stands for nonoccupational Post-Exposure Prophylaxis. It includes a series of pills to be taken within 72 hours of possible exposure to HIV.
