Help protect yourself and your partners from STDs, including HIV. Make STD testing part of your routine – every 6 months if you’re sexually active. Be sure to get tested for STDs if you have symptoms or if you know you’ve been exposed. Be sure to get tested for HIV six weeks after you think you may have been exposed.

Testing is easy and usually quick. Many times STD testing only involves a visual exam. Other times, a simple blood test or culture may be done. HIV testing is also easy and many sites now offer rapid testing.

There are a couple of testing options:

  • Visit one of the testing sites below for free or low-cost testing
  • Get tested at your own health care provider's office or health center

Remember, many are curable and HIV is treatable – but it’s important to be tested early and know your status.  Hepatitis vaccination is also important for sexually active men.
