Maintaining sexual health is crucial, not just for knowing your status but for owning it. By regularly testing and using preventive methods, you keep yourself healthy, and you demonstrate care and protection for your intimate partners. Routine testing for HIV and other STIs, even if you don’t have symptoms, is essential for early detection, timely treatment, and preventing the spread of infections.

Taking care of your sexual health is essential for overall well-being. However, when it comes to STI testing and prevention, many individuals tend to overlook the importance of regular screenings and protection measures.
