    Don’t just worry about HIV. Do something about it.

    If you think you are at risk for HIV infection, now’s the time to consider counseling and testing. If you test positive, work with a doctor to make decisions that are right for you. The earlier this happens, the more medical care can help.

    Talk to a doctor, your health department, or other local AIDS resources. Call your State or local AIDS hotline or the National AIDS Hotline at 1-800-342-AIDS. Call 1-800-243-7889 (TT ) for deaf access.

    HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.
