HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system — and roughly 1 in 7 people living with it in the U.S. don't know they have it. Early detection means earlier treatment, better long-term health outcomes, and stopping transmission to others. Testing is a simple blood draw with no physical exam required, and results are delivered privately to your email in 1–2 business days.
HIV often causes no symptoms for years, sometimes decades. You can have it, transmit it, and have no idea. The only way to know your status is to test.
The CDC estimates that about 13% of the 1.2 million Americans living with HIV are unaware of their infection. Those individuals account for a disproportionate share of new transmissions each year.
People diagnosed early and started on antiretroviral therapy (ART) can achieve an undetectable viral load — meaning they cannot sexually transmit HIV to partners. Early diagnosis makes that outcome possible.
The CDC recommends that all adults aged 13–64 get tested at least once as part of routine healthcare. If you have new or multiple partners, use injection drugs, or have other risk factors, annual testing is recommended.
