All individuals aged 13–64 be tested for HIV at least once in their lifetime, and those at increased risk for HIV infection be tested at least annually.
Early diagnosis allows individuals to begin appropriate treatment and care, resulting in better health outcomes. Studies have shown that starting antiretroviral therapy as early as possible after diagnosis improves a patient’s health, reduces transmission, and can lead to undetectable HIV viral loads.
The HIV Team at the Florida Department of Health Pasco County is ready to assist with linkage to HIV care if you test positive or have any questions. Information about PrEP is available at any time.
