Understand prevention, testing, treatment support and why early access to services matters.
HIV and sexually transmitted infections can affect anyone. Prevention includes accurate information, safer choices, testing and timely treatment where needed.
Testing is important because some infections may not show symptoms early. Knowing one’s status helps a person make informed decisions and access support quickly.
The Youth Choice service locator can help users find places offering testing, counselling and referral services.
