"HIV IS NOT A CRIME"
DO YOU KNOW?
Symptoms
Most people who are infected with HIV experience flu-like symptoms within 2 to 4 weeks after being infected.
Other symptoms are Fever, Chills, Rash, Night sweats, Muscle aches, Sore throat, Fatigue, Swollen lymph nodes, Mouth ulcers, and Weight loss. However, some people have no symptoms at all. The only way to know if you are HIV positive is to be tested.
You can’t protect yourself if you don’t know what to look for. STD symptoms vary , some are obvious, some are hardly noticeable, and some STDs show no symptoms at all — meaning the only way you can be totally sure of your status is to get tested. Most STDs are treatable or manageable, but not without professional help.
Prevention
HIV and other STDs are easily spread from one partner to another, but STDs are preventable. The best way to prevent getting or spreading an STD is to be responsible about your sex life. Protect yourself and your partner.
Sometimes it can be hard to tell if you need to get tested for an STD. If you or your partners have any of the symptoms of an STD — or i you’re worried at all that you may have contracted one — you should g ahead and do it.
Treatment for HIV
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a chronic condition that requires ongoing medical treatment. The primary goal of HIV treatment is to suppress the virus and prevent it from progressing to AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome).
The treatment for HIV is called antiretroviral therapy (ART). ART involves taking a combination of HIV medicines daily, monthly, or every other month.
While ART cannot cure HIV, prompt HIV treatment can help all people with HIV live long, healthy lives and reduce the risk of HIV transmission.
One of the primary goals of HIV treatment is to reduce a person’s viral load to an undetectable level, which nearly eliminates the risk of transmitting HIV through sexual contact.

Approved for oral fluid, plasma, fingerstick, or venipuncture whole blood specimens. Ideal for both clinical and non-clinical settings.
Accurate:
Greater than 99% agreement with confirmatory Western blot.

If you are under 18 years of age or uncomfortable administering an HIV self-test, please refrain from taking the test. In the event of a positive result, kindly inform us so we can assist you in accessing the necessary care. Rest assured, even without insurance, you will still be connected to the care you need.
"We can STOP HIV"
Living with HIV and undergoing effective treatment significantly reduces the viral load in the blood. Achieving an undetectable viral load, typically below 200 copies/ml, indicates successful suppression of the virus, also termed as being virally suppressed. This state ensures that HIV transmission through sexual contact is no longer possible.
