UPDATED RESULT DATED – 15th SEPTEMBER 2025
I still feel the need to encourage individuals to get tested and to know their HIV status. It is better to know your status, so you can guide yourself and save others, too.
You don’t have to die before death comes
Importance of Getting Tested:
Allows you to start an early treatment as soon as possible.
Preventing transmission as it helps reduce the spread of HIV within the community.
Improves health outcomes and the development of serious illnesses.
Gives you Peace of mind, as knowing your status can alleviate anxiety and provide a sense of control over your health.
Preventing mother-to-child transmission as this lowers the risk of transmitting HIV to your baby.
It helps protect your loved ones by getting tested and taking appropriate actions to protect your partners and other family members from potential infection.
Reducing stigma and discrimination as they contribute to greater community awareness and a reduction in stigma associated with HIV.
