HIV / AIDS
HIV affects gay and bi men and trans people who have sex with men more than any
other group in Puget Sound and the United States. AIDS is becoming less common as more people take the newer medicines that effectively treat HIV. But everyone should continue to use condoms and test often for STIs.
If you don’t have HIV, there are tools you can use to stay that way, such as PrEP, PEP, and condoms. It's important to also test often for HIV.
If you have HIV, it’s important to start taking HIV meds very soon after diagnosis and to take them daily to keep your viral load down. See you doctor regularly to check on viral load. This keeps you healthy and lowers the chance of spreading HIV to others.
