Q: Why should I get tested for HIV?

A: Because you should consider at what risk you put your partner(s) if you don't know your own HIV status, or if you are HIV+. The only way to tell if you have been infected with HIV is by taking an HIV antibody test.
The advantages to knowing your HIV status are:
?You can prevent infection to others if you find out you are HIV+, and
?You can seek medical therapies earlier.
