Know Your Status
HIV doesn’t discriminate. Male, female, trans, black, brown or white. And almost 40% of new infections happen because one of the sexual partners didn’t know they were HIV+. Living in and having unsafe sex in Hillsborough or Pinellas counties also makes you more of a risk as both rank in the top 48 counties nationally for new HIV infections in recent years.
So, What Can You Do?
Know your status through regular testing and prac- tice safe sex. EPIC (Empath Partners in Care) can help throughout Tampa Bay and provide you safe sex supplies and education. You can also request an at- home test and learn your status from the comfort of your home while receiving support from EPIC staff.
