A “POSITIVE” HIV TEST
A “positive” antibody test means that
you have HIV. This means that you
could also give it to someone else.
Knowing that you have HIV gives you
a chance to do something about it. You
can begin to take care of yourself, like
seeing a doctor and a case manager.
If your test shows that you might have
early HIV infection, a trained counselor
will contact you privately. The coun-selor
will set up more tests, help you to
see a doctor and talk about treatment
IF YOU ARE INFECTED
If you test positive, there are things that
you have to do to take care of yourself
and other people. They are so important
that they are a part of public health law.
Some things you have to do are:
• Use a condom every time you have
sex.
• Never share needles or syringes
(works).
• Tell current and future sex partners
that you have HIV.
• Tell people that you had sex or
shared needles with in the past
about your infection. A counselor
will help you notify your partners
and will not tell them your name.
