Know Your Status

Approximately 56,000 new cases of HIV infection occur in the United States each year.

More than 25% of AIDS infections are in women.  Most become infected through heterosexual contact.

At the end of 2006, an estimated 1,106,400 people in the United States were living with HIV infection, with 21% undiagnosed.

In 2007, African Americans made up 51% of new HIV infections.

Caucasians accounted for 29% of infections and 18% were Hispanic/Latino.

By age 19, 7 in 10 American teenagers are sexually active, but 34% did not use a condom the last time they had sex.

In a 2-year study of heterosexual couples where one partner was HIV-infected and the other wasn’t, none of the partners who consistently used condoms became infected.

According to the CDC 21% of individuals who are infected with HIV don’t know it.

AIDS Resource Center Ohio is proud to offer an orally administered, rapid result HIV test.  The test is free, painless, and quick!  The test can be administered confidentially or anonymously and twenty minutes later you will be presented with results about your current HIV status.

Protect yourself and your partners; get tested for HIV on a regular basis.
