关于 HIV
艾滋病已经存在了40年。让我们揭开艾滋病的神秘面纱。
一些基本信息..

Who should get tested?
Everyone, especially those with multiple sexual partners, who inject drugs, have had STIs, are pregnant, or experience symptoms suggestive of HIV, should consider getting tested for the virus.
How to get testing done?
You can get tested for HIV at clinics, health centers, or through home testing kits available at pharmacies.
How can you get HIV?
HIV is primarily transmitted through unprotected sex, sharing needles, or from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding.
Should I get tested for HIV if I don’t have any risk factors?
Yes, it's recommended to get tested for HIV regardless of whether you believe you have any risk factors. HIV can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, or lifestyle.
What can increase the risk of getting or transmitting HIV?
Unprotected sex and having multiple partners increase the risk, while sharing needles during drug use significantly heightens transmission rates. Untreated STIs also facilitate HIV transmission. Vertical transmission from pregnant individuals to infants is a concern, though proper medical care can reduce this risk.
