HIV testing, including self-testing, helps people get the care they need to stay healthy, no matter what their test result is. If the test is negative, there are tools like pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medication and condoms to prevent HIV.

Knowing your test result also gives you a chance to get other health services like vaccines and tests for other sexually transmitted infections.
