According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), roughly a quarter of the 1.2 million Americans who are HIV positive do not know they are infected. This means that many are transmitting the virus to others without knowing it.
If there’s even a slim chance that you may have been exposed to HIV, don’t wait. Get tested. For more information on HIV and how it is transmitted, visit
