Use a condom. And get tested. It's important!

For the love of whatever deity you worship - use a condom. Yes a condom! Use it every time and use it correctly. Did you know that up to 1 out of 4 people who have HIV don't know it? Knowing your HIV status can greatly impact your health. If you know you have HIV, you can begin getting the medical care you need to stay healthy longer. You can also directly impact the health of others by taking steps to keep from infecting your partner(s). If you don't have HIV, it's important to learn what you need to do to keep it that way. Protect yourself and your partner(s)! San Antonio has resources to help with testing and education.
