Take the Test & Take the Next Step.
The NHTD theme for 2023 is "Take the Test & Take the Next Step." This year, we’re going beyond the test to emphasize the steps everyone can take once they know their HIV status. This theme emphasizes that knowing your HIV status helps you choose options to stay healthy.
Take the next step. Okay, I got tested, now what? HIV testing, including self-testing, is the pathway to engaging people in care to keep them healthy, regardless of their test result. People who receive a negative test result can take advantage of HIV prevention tools such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), condoms, and other sexual health services such as vaccines and testing for sexually transmitted infections. People who receive a positive test result can rapidly start HIV treatment (antiretroviral therapy, or ART) to stay healthy.
