The only way to know your status is to get tested. Early identification of HIV and STDs increase chances for better health outcomes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 be tested at least once in their lifetime. People at higher risk should be tested more often.
