According to the health department, studies have shown very promising treatments for those with early detection and diagnosis. This can help improve a patient’s health, reduce transmission and eventually lead to undetectable HIV viral loads.
The Florida Department of Health in Orange County offers routine HIV testing by appointment or walk-in as well as PrEP services by appointment.
The Department of Health said it hopes everyone takes the opportunity to get tested and learn more about available HIV treatment and prevention options.
