HIV status. It is the not knowing that will cause unnecessary risk of life.

Many individuals considering an HIV test put off or ignore testing for reasons such as privacy and convenience.  This can cause great unnecessary risk for those individuals and others who may be putting themselves at risk without realizing.  It is important that if you for any reason to believe that you have been at risk of HIV infection that you test as soon as possible.  The early detection and treatment of HIV greatly increases survival rates.  Many individuals carry on normal sexual behavior despite knowing that they have had what would be described as an HIV infection risk.  Given that the overwhelming majority of individuals once diagnosed with HIV take greater measures to ensure that they do not infect others leads us to the following conclusion.  Many individuals infected by HIV have been infected by a partner who had contracted HIV can have not tested and therefore had not been diagnosed.  It would be unlikely to that individual did not realize that they had been at risk of HIV infection.  So a primary cause of the individual going on to infect others is their choice not to have tested for HIV.  Given that there are several testing options available to the Australian public here at Head Start Testing we believe that by offering the public a supplementary HIV testing method that hopefully the instances of the example given can be reduced.  A simple HIV test carried out using a HIV self test kit can give an individual early results leading to early treatment and diminished and risk of infection to others.  As the message is that if you are in any doubt about your HIV status that you should take an HIV test at your earliest convenience.
