End the HIV Epidemic
We've been fighting HIV for a long time. With your help, we can End the HIV Epidemic in Seattle and King County by doing these 4 key things. We have the tools, and now is the time.
Let's end HIV together.
Get tested regularly. Knowing your HIV status means you can focus your efforts on staying negative, or on getting treatment to stay healthy and become undetectable.
Start HIV treatment right away if you test positive (PDF, see listings for providers under the Medical/Dental/Pharmacy section). People living with HIV who are successfully treated become virally suppressed and will live long, healthy lives with no risk of sexually transmitting HIV: Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U)
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), is a pill you can take if you are HIV-negative to reduce your risk of becoming infected with HIV. PrEP will NOT protect against any other STDs. You can get a PrEP prescription from a variety of places. Find a location that is most convenient for you.
Also:
- Get PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis)
- Get Free Condoms
- Get Clean Syringes
Participate in HIV tracing activities if the health department contacts you. New HIV tracing methods allow us to see where HIV may be spreading most rapidly so we can quickly develop and implement strategies to stop the spread.
