How the Test Can Help You

If you or a sexual partner are at risk for HIV infection, the HIV antibody (AIDS) test can help to determine if you are currently infected. Here is some basic information about the test, and some reasons why being tested could help you:

* Counseling and HIV antibody testing is available anonymously (no names requested) and at no cost from many sites around the state (see list below).

* Wisconsin has strict laws which protect patient confidentiality.

* Testing may reduce your anxiety and uncertainty about being infected.

* By identifying HIV infection before she becomes pregnant, an infected woman can prevent transmitting HIV infection to an unborn child.

* If you are not infected (test negative) you will be provided with information about how to stay uninfected.

If you find out that you are infected (test positive):

* You will be provided with immediate referral for additional medical evaluation, counseling and support services.

* You can seek immediate medical care and obtain early intervention (e.g., AZT, vaccination against influenza, and pneumococcal pneumonia).

* You can inform past sexual or needle-sharing partners of their exposure risk, and prevent additional transmission to current or new partners. If you need help informing partners confidential assistance will be provided.
