Finding a Testing Site
Many places offer HIV testing: health departments,
doctors' offices, hospitals, and sites specifically set
up to provide HIV testing. You can locate a testing
site by visiting the CDC HIV testing database or by

Hotline) at 1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636) 24

Facts About HIV and AIDS
Structure of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, courtesy of NIAID.
HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus.
This is the virus that causes AIDS. HIV is
different from most other viruses because it
attacks the immune system. The immune system
gives our bodies the ability to fight infections.
HIV finds and destroys a type of white blood cell
(T cells or CD4 cells) that the immune system
must have to fight disease.
AIDS
AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome. AIDS is the final stage of HIV
infection. It can take years for a person
infected with HIV, even without treatment, to
reach this stage. Having AIDS means that the
virus has weakened the immune system to the
point at which the body has a difficult time
fighting infections. When someone has one or
more of these infections and a low number of T
cells, he or she has AIDS. For more information
view the CDC questions and answers on HIV
science.
