Do you feel anxious and afraid of being at risk of HIV/AIDS infection? Or even worried you may have been infected with HIV that could possibly develop into full blown AIDS soon? Use our HIV Risk Calculator with questions that probe into the risk factors and determine if any them applies to you. If you believe you are at risk from having been exposed to possible HIV infection, it is of utmost importance that you get tested for HIV at the earliest.

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that primarily transmits through unprotected sexual intercourse. It destroys the body's immunity and causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). AIDS was first reported in the United States in 1981 and has since become a major worldwide epidemic.
