ActionAIDS provides comprehensive HIV prevention, education, testing and counseling services. Getting tested for HIV can be an intimidating experience; however, our trained staff is here for support.

Anyone who is having or has ever had sex (anal, vaginal or oral), has ever used injection drugs, and/or anyone who has ever had a piercing or tattoo should be tested for HIV. Everyone is welcome to get tested! We generally recommend getting tested every 6 months, but the counselor and individual can determine a regular testing schedule during the session.

Making regular HIV testing a healthy habit and encouraging risk reduction behavior is something that the Prevention staff at ActionAIDS strives for.
