HIV is a very serious, life-threatening disease that affects tens of millions of people worldwide. Many of those infected with HIV do not even know that they have it and can end up accidentally giving it to those that they love. It is important to have regular HIV tests whenever one engages in activities that they think may put them at risk. By being prudent, this disease can be controlled and eventually conquered.
