Am I at risk?

Anyone can become infected with HIV, but you are at greater risk if you:• Have ever shared injection drug needles and syringes or “works.”• Have ever had unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex with multiple sex partners, anonymous partners, or men who have sex with men.• Have ever been diagnosed with or treated for hepatitis, tuberculosis (TB) or a sexually transmitted disease such as syphilis.• Exchanged sex for drugs or money.• Received a blood transfusion or clotting factor between 1978 and 1985.• Have had unprotected sex with someone who would answer yes to any of the above questions.If you are unsure of a sexual partner’s risk-taking behavior or if you or they have had many sex partners, you are at greater risk of infection.The CDC recommends that all pregnant women be screened for HIV. In the U.S., mother-to-child HIV transmission is highly preventable if the mother begins treatment before or during childbirth.
