Recent gains in HIV medical care and treatment have increased the benefit of learning whether you have HIV infection even before symptoms of illness appear. Also, if you are planning a pregnancy, you and your partner may want to know if either of you are infected before conceiving. Before you are tested be sure that counseling is provided, both before and after the test. Consult with a health care provider with experience in HIV care or call your local health department.
Many test sites provide free testing and counseling.
