Honoring National HIV Testing Day

National HIV Testing Day is a reminder to get the facts, get tested and get involved in taking care of yourself and your partners.

According to the CDC, an estimated 1.2 million people in the United States are living with HIV, and that number grows by almost 50,000 every year. One in seven people who have HIV don't know it. That means they are not getting the medical care they need to stay healthy and avoid passing HIV to others.
