Who is at most risk of getting HIV?
According to the CDC, in 2018, 81% of the newly diagnosed HIV cases in the United States were among men. People who have many sex partners and do not use protection are also at a higher risk of getting HIV.
Other potential HIV risk factors include:
Use of alcohol and drugs can result in unprotected sex
Sharing needles
Having receptive anal sex
ANYONE can get infected by HIV, and the only way to prevent the transmission of this infection is by using protection, taking medication, and getting tested regularly.
