National HIV Testing Day
There have been many promising developments in the fight against HIV/AIDS, particularly PrEP, a preventative pill, and a stabilization in the U.S. infection rate. However, 1.2 million Americans are living with HIV and almost one in eight people do not even know they are infected. Additionally, the rates of infection are higher among men who have sex with men and African-Americans. In honor of June 27 HIV Testing Day, make sure you know the facts about HIV/AIDS, your status and prevention. To find a testing site near you, you can:
- visit ActAgainstAIDS,
- text your ZIP code to KNOWIT (566948), or
- call 1-800-CDC-INFO (232-4636)
