Get Tested for HIV

Get Tested for HIV
Reduce risky behaviors and use condoms to protect yourself and others.
More than 100,000 New Yorkers are living with HIV.
As many as 1 in 4 don’t know they're infected.
There is still no vaccine, and still no cure.
Thanks to new medications and early treatment, people with HIV are feeling better and living longer - holding jobs, raising families, doing well.
The Get Tested for HIV Health Bulletin http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/downloads/pdf/email/dohmhnews6-01.pdf offers key reasons why getting tested for HIV is so important, as well as tips for protecting yourself and others from infection.
This bulletin is one in a series that we publish on topics of critical importance to New Yorkers. Health Bulletins on other topics can be found on our Web site at http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/alerts/alert1.shtml
