A HIV test will tell you if you carry the HIV virus that can go on over time to develop into AIDS. There are now good treatments available that will keep a person well and prevent the infection developing so it’s good to test and know if you have it or not.
Also knowing your status can help you make sure you don’t pass it on. GPs can offer a blood test. Specialist sexual health services can also offer a rapid test or you can test at home.
