MISION Imagine an Oregon where… We end new HIV infections. Everyone with HIV is healthy. Can you imagine it? End HIV Oregon.
PREVENTION WORKS
There are a variety of HIV prevention tools out there that we know work! Whether it's condoms and lubricant, safer sex and prevention education, syringe exchange, PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis), or testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), Oregonians have a variety of tools to help them prevent HIV. It’s an exciting time because we also have new tools to prevent HIV, including PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), a daily pill to prevent infection.
Condoms, safer sex, syringe exchange, and PrEP or PEP can help stop transmission.
WHY TESTING MATTERS SO MUCH
Since 6 out of 10 Oregonians have never been tested, some Oregonians have HIV but don't know it. People who know they have HIV are less likely to spread it to others. People who know they have HIV can start life-saving treatment, protecting their health and eliminating their risk of passing on HIV to others if they are virally suppressed.
TESTING IS EASY
Confidential HIV testing is available throughout Oregon.
