According to the latest statistics, around 15% of new HIV diagnoses in New South Wales are associated with heterosexual contact. Many heterosexuals (straight) continue to be diagnosed late (after some damage has been done to their immune system), which means it will take longer to get the virus under control.
Early detection and intervention (often medication) are crucial in combatting the HIV virus. Testing is the only way to be certain of your HIV status. If you are worried about HIV or have concerns about any other sexually transmitted infection, stay safe and get tested – it is always Better2Know.
If you do test positive for HIV, modern medications, when taken regularly will help you to keep the virus under control, prevent it from doing damage to you, and will be able to prevent you from passing it on to a new partner. The first step is to get tested.
What is the difference between an STI and an STD?
An STI is a Sexually Transmitted Infection, and STD is a Sexually Transmitted Disease. They can be used interchangeably to refer to any of the infections that we test you for. Most people prefer to have an infection than a disease so STI is the more modern term
