Action Tips: Get Tested!

It starts with you so get tested for HIV. To find a testing site center near you, visit hivtest.org or text your zip code to Know It (566948). Testing can be done with a cotton swab and may be anonymous, and all 50 states and the District of Columbia explicitly allow minors to consent to STD services. That means you can get tested without the consent of your parents!

Now spread the news. Tell your friends how easy (and important) it is. And get your boy/girlfriend to get tested too!

I got tested for HIV/AIDS on Tuesday of this week.
I'm nervous, but then again I'm not.
I will defiantly share my results once I get my results.
I get tested every two months & they have always come up clean.
Even when you are NOT sexually active for a while you should still get tested because some STI's or STD's don't show up for a while. (Just a little FYI)
