Behaviors that put you at risk
for HIV |
-
Have
you ever had sex with anyone who is HIV positive?
-
Have
you ever shared needles or syringes to inject drugs?
-
If
you are male, have you ever had sex with other males without using a condom?
-
Have
you ever had sex with anyone who would answer yes to any of the first 3
questions?
-
Have
you had sex with someone other than one faithful partner without using a
condom?
-
If
you answered yes to any of these questions, you are at some risk.
-
Your
risk is increased if you answered yes to more than one question, and if you
engage in any of these activities frequently.
After
you have been tested and…
| Results are Negative |
| |
you may still test
positive at a later date if your exposure has occurred in the last 3
months |
| |
|
| Results are Positive |
| |
it is your responsibility
to protect your partners - current and past. You still need to
protect yourself. Repeated exposure to the virus increases the
occurrence of AIDS symptoms |
