Regular HIV testing can help you make informed decisions about your health and relationships.
Choose a birth control method that fits your health, preferences and plans.
Testing is not only for people who have symptoms.

Discharge, itching, sores, burning when passing urine or other changes may need assessment.
You may need testing or treatment even if you feel completely well.
The right testing routine depends on your sexual health, partners, exposure risk and medical situation.
