I've been reading a lot of articles lately about a rise of HIV cases in Indiana. Then there are those discussing how over 50% of the new HIV cases diagnosed in Atlanta are already in the AIDS stage. There is a almost constant litany of astonishing HIV transmission rates in the articles.
What's going on? Are people being riskier? Have they just stopped caring about getting HIV? Or perhaps those are both the wrong questions.
All this points to is simple. People aren't getting tested. At least not as often or as soon as they should.
Even with all this talk about HIV meds & PreP, the most basic thing is still not being pushed hard enough. Without testing, there is no way of knowing someone's status. Even if they try for "safer" sex, its still risky. Especially without all the information available.
Get tested.
Cya...
