Blood test: If you have had unprotected sex with a new partner, used IV drugs with shared needles, or engaged in other high-risk activities with shared blood or body fluids, please see your doctor and get a blood test for the HIV virus. People who have never had sex or used IV drugs are very unlikely to get HIV-AIDS unless they were born to HIV-positive mothers. Don't delay if you think you might be at risk.
