ARE YOU AT RISK?

There are seven key questions that a person can answer to find out if they are at risk for HIV. We have a survey on our website and resources for testing and counseling for those who are interested.

KNOW YOUR STATUS

HIV Alliance offers free HIV testing for certain high risk groups. If a person does not qualify for free testing with us, they can speak with a counselor about how to reduce their risk and where they can go for testing.

MAKE SAFER CHOICES EVERY DAY

The best way to avoid contracting HIV is to make safer choices everyday. Our website offers guidance on how to make safer choices every day, including information about safe sex and our needle exchange program that provides clean needles to intravenous drug users.
