But with proper medical care, HIV can be controlled.

The chimpanzee version of the virus (called simian immunodeficiency virus, or SIV) was probably passed to humans when humans hunted these chimpanzees for meat and came in contact with their infected blood. Studies show that HIV may have jumped from chimpanzees to humans as far back as the late 1800s. Over decades, HIV slowly spread across Africa and later into other parts of the world. We know that the virus has existed in the United States since at least the mid to late 1970s. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"xEOXg iKTke FH4ow _9-Qxn\" dir=\"auto\"><span class=\"bFOZY\"><strong>How do I know if I have HIV?<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-b8khh\" class=\"xEOXg iKTke FH4ow _9-Qxn\" dir=\"auto\"><span class=\"bFOZY\">The only way to know for sure whether you have HIV is to get tested.

You should be tested at least once a year if you keep doing any of these things. Sexually active gay and bisexual men may benefit from more frequent testing (for example, every 3 to 6 months).

Your health care provider may talk with you about your risk factors, answer any questions you might have, and discuss next steps with you. If the test comes back negative, and you haven\u2019t had a possible exposure during the window period for the test you took, you can be confident you don\u2019t have HIV.

The test can either tell if a person has HIV or tell how much virus is present in the blood (known as an HIV viral load test). While a NAT can detect HIV sooner than other types of tests, this test is very expensive and not routinely used for screening individuals unless they recently had a high-risk exposure or a possible exposure and have early symptoms of HIV infection.<\/div><div data-hook=\"rcv-block35\">\u00a0<\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-1om8v\" class=\"xEOXg iKTke FH4ow _9-Qxn\" dir=\"auto\"><span class=\"bFOZY\"><strong>2) 4th Generation HIV antigen\/antibody test <\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-hook=\"rcv-block37\">Looks for both HIV antibodies and antigens. Antibodies are produced by your immune system when you\u2019re exposed to viruses like HIV. Antigens are foreign substances that cause your immune system to activate. If you have HIV, an antigen called p24 is produced even before antibodies develop. Antigen\/antibody tests are recommended for testing done in labs and are now common in the United States. This lab test involves drawing blood from a vein. There is also a rapid antigen\/antibody test available that is done with a finger prick.<\/div><div data-hook=\"rcv-block39\">\u00a0<\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-1fl9i\" class=\"xEOXg iKTke FH4ow _9-Qxn\" dir=\"auto\"><span class=\"bFOZY\"><strong>3) 3rd Generation HIV antibody tests <\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-hook=\"rcv-block41\">Only look for antibodies to HIV in your blood.
