Everyone Should Know Their Status—Take Control of Your Health

HIV testing saves lives. The CDC recommends testing for ages 13–64, but fewer than 40% of Americans have ever been tested. Learn why testing matters and how My BIO TESTS makes it easier with rapid HIV self-tests and HCP solutions.

Testing for HIV is one of the most effective tools in preventing the spread of the virus and protecting community health. According to the CDC, everyone between the ages of 13–64 should be tested at least once as part of their routine health care, yet fewer than 40% of Americans have ever been tested.

The statistics are sobering:

• In 2019, nearly 37,000 new HIV diagnoses were reported in the U.S.

• Approximately 1.2 million people were living with HIV, yet only 87% knew their status.

• Certain communities are disproportionately impacted: Black/African Americans accounted for 42% of new diagnoses, and Hispanic/Latino populations 29%.

• The MSM (men who have sex with men) community represented 65% of new HIV diagnoses.

Who Should Be Tested More Frequently?

The CDC recommends at least annual testing for individuals at higher risk, including:

• Pregnant women

• MSM (men who have sex with men)

• PrEP patients

• People with multiple sexual partners

• Those with a history of STIs

• People who inject drugs

• Anyone with a partner who is HIV-positive
