This Wednesday (June 27) is National HIV Testing Day, sponsored by the National Association of People with AIDS (NAPWA). Cities around America will offer free HIV testing to encourage early diagnosis and stress the importance of routine testing. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are approximately 180,000-280,000 Americans who are HIV positive and don't know it. Those of us living with with HIV or AIDS can help prevent others from getting the disease.
If you are in NYC and would like to know where you can obtain free HIV testing and counseling please don't hesitate to contact me. If you or someone you know has recently tested HIV positive and is in need of resources for answers about medical care, living with HIV, or you're just in need of someone to talk with confidentially, you can contact me by e-mail at any time. Getting tested can be a scary step. Not knowing can cost you your life. Get tested. Get the facts. Take control of yourself and your life.
