The first step is becoming aware of your HIV/AIDS Status. The whole point of taking an HIV test is find out whether or not you have the virus. Having the virus means that you are HIV+ (HIV positive) and will have to make changes in your life. Not having the virus means you’re HIV negative, which doesn’t mean you get a free pass… you need to Make YOUR Move to ensure you STAY HIV free. 

If you are worried about the cost, you shouldn’t be. The test is done for free in Government clinics. You can go to a good private laboratory or get a home kit at a pharmacy to do it yourself BUT it is advised that someone does it for you especially someone you trust because you can get good advice and counseling once tested positive.
