What is an HIV test, and why is it important?

An HIV test detects the presence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which attacks the immune system and can lead to AIDS if untreated. Testing is crucial for early detection and management, as timely treatment with antiretroviral therapy (ART) can help individuals live long, healthy lives and reduce the risk of transmission. Regular testing is particularly important for people with risk factors like unprotected sex or needle sharing. Knowing your HIV status empowers you to take control of your health, prevent further transmission, and access appropriate care if needed.
