JUNE 27th
National HIV FREE Testing Day…PLEASE BE IN THE KNOW!
Every year, National HIV Testing Day on June 27th provides an opportunity for us to fight the HIV epidemic across America by encouraging our friends and loved ones to get tested, which the Centers for Disease Control recommends every American ages 13 to 64 do at least once. Many people with HIV don’t feel sick or show symptoms immediately after they are infected – so the only way to know if you have HIV is through testing.
