In the U.S., for every seven people who have HIV, one person does not know it. Testing is the only way to know if you have HIV. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 get tested for HIV at least once; however, anyone at higher risk for getting HIV should get tested at least once a year.
