It’s World Aids Day! Among all women in the U.S. living with HIV/AIDS, 64 percent are African-American. In fact, the rate of AIDS diagnosis for African-American women nationwide is 22 times the rate for white women. Preventing HIV is not complicated. If you’re sexually active, get tested. Don’t use IV drugs or share needles. Abstain or practice safer sex. With preventive care, you and your health care provider can fight and manage this disease and stop the spread.
If your test comes back POSITIVE
Know that life goes on. Seek a second opinion. Retrieve in-person education and printed information about HIV transmission, resources and services. Those clients who tested positive for HIV are encouraged to get enrolled in case management services.
