We can stop HIV, Iowa— by taking a whole-person approach to our sexual health. Get screened for HIV at least once in your lifetime, and request HIV screening any time you are getting tested for sexually-transmitted infections (STIs). Talk openly with your provider about your sex life, so they can help you figure out which tests are best for you. There’s not a single test for all STIs—each STI has its own test. STIs can cause long-term health issues when left untreated. They can also increase your chances of acquiring HIV. Getting tested for all sexually-transmitted infections is the best step you can take to protect your own health and help to stop HIV in Iowa! Learn more at stophiviowa.org ?
