Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that targets the body's immune system. Once someone gets HIV, they have it for life. The only way to know if you have HIV is to get tested. There are many ways to prevent HIV like using PrEP and never sharing needles. HIV treatment helps people living with HIV live live long, healthy lives and protect their partners.
Testing and Counseling
Everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 should have an HIV test in their lifetime.

Prevention
