HIV Testing: What You Need to Know
New York City is a hot-spot for HIV infection. Around 1% of all New Yorkers are HIV+.
The Centers for Disease Control recommend annual testing for HIV for all adults at risk. Men and women who are at higher risk (multiple sexual partners, unprotected sex, etc) should be tested every 3 months.
Safe sex practices provide the best way to avoid HIV.
HIV disease usually causes no symptoms at least initially. Later on, it may cause severe disease when it manifests as AIDS.
For those who are at the highest risk for HIV, prophylactic treatment is available to decrease the chances of HIV infection.
What Else Do You Need to Know About HIV Infection in Men?
Men who are at risk for HIV are also at risk for other sexually transmitted diseases and should also be tested for gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia at a minimum. At New York Urology Specialists we also test for hepatitis, ureaplasma and mycoplasma infections
