What is HIV and Why is it Important to Get Tested?
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) attacks the immune system, weakening the body's defenses against diseases and infections. Without treatment, it can progress to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
Why is it important to get tested?
🔹 Many people with HIV don’t show symptoms in the early stages.
🔹 Early diagnosis allows for treatment to begin and helps avoid complications.
🔹 Testing is the only way to know for sure if you have HIV.
💡 Remember: HIV has no cure, but with early diagnosis and the right treatment, people can live a completely normal life.
HIV Symptoms and When to Get Tested
In many cases, HIV does not show symptoms in its early stages, but some people may experience:
✅ Persistent fever
✅ Night sweats
✅ Unexplained weight loss
✅ Extreme fatigue
✅ Swollen lymph nodes
When should I get tested for HIV?
🔹 If you've had unprotected sex.
🔹 If you've shared syringes or needles.
🔹 If you have a partner with HIV or unknown risk.
🔹 If you're pregnant or planning to be.
🔹 If you have symptoms consistent with HIV.
