Obtain testing.
The first thing to do is to have yourself tested for HIV. If you’ve been exposed to the virus and aren’t sure if you need treatment, this can assist.
Have yourself checked out.
Get immediate medical assistance if you have any reason to believe you may have been exposed to HIV. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) entails taking antiretroviral drugs within 72 hours after exposure to lower the chance of developing HIV; your doctor can give you with more information about this.
Put on some shields!
It is crucial to always wear protection whenever you engage in sexual activity. Condoms lessen the likelihood of sexually transmitted diseases like HIV being transferred.
Talk to your companion.
It’s vital that you and your partner talk frankly and honestly about your respective HIV and STD statuses. This can provide you the knowledge you need to make good choices for your sexual health.
Get aid.
After receiving the news that you have been infected with HIV, you may feel a wide range of emotions. If you’re having trouble managing stress or anxiety, talking to a trusted friend, family member, or healthcare professional can help. Groups dedicated to helping those living with HIV/AIDS can be a great resource for both practical advice and emotional solace.
