HIV testing services

HIV general information
HIV disease is a communicable disease spread through:
- unprotected sexual contact with an infected person (not using a condom)
- sharing needles or other works with an infected person
- from an infected mother to her baby during pregnancy
Medications can treat the disease and can also protect a baby from infection by her pregnant mother.
Prevention
Condoms can prevent sexual transmission; not sharing needles or other works can prevent infection during drug use.
