National HIV Testing Day is June 27, 2010

According to our Guide to HIV / AIDS, Mark Cichocki, R.N., there are approximately 1.1 million people living with HIV in the United States. Of those 1.1 million people, 20% have no idea they are infected. Why is HIV testing so important? Cichociki notes in a recent blog post that 70% of the estimated 56,000 new infections that are reported every year are caused by the 20% of infected persons that are unaware of their HIV status.

In order to stop the spread of HIV, we all need to be aware of our HIV status. Understandably, there is a lot of emotion and concern that one feels when making the decision to be tested. Many people would rather go on living their lives oblivious to the fact that they are HIV positive.

There are several ways you can be tested for HIV, but did you know that you can be tested at your dental office? Last year, I interviewed Dr. Catrise Austin, a dentist in New York City that offers HIV testing to her patients. If you are at all nervous about being tested for HIV, I suggest that you read my interview with Dr. Austin on how she incorporated the OraQuick ADVANCE Rapid HIV-1/2 Antibody Test into her dental office.

HIV / AIDS is responsible for a number of dental problems, that only add to the list of physical and emotional concerns persons infected with HIV/AIDS experience. When you are aware of your HIV status, you can begin treatment for HIV that may help to improve your day-to-day quality of life.
