Update Your Status for National HIV Testing Day

6/27/2012

Today, June 27th, is National HIV Testing Day (NHTD). It is an annual campaign coordinated by the National Association of People with AIDS to encourage people of all ages to "Take the Test, Take Control."

Too many people don't know they have HIV. In the United States, nearly 1.2 million people are living with HIV, and almost one in five don't know they are infected. Getting tested is the first step to finding out if you have HIV. If you have HIV, getting medical care and taking medicines regularly helps you live a longer, healthier life and also lowers the chances of passing HIV on to others.

"UPDATE YOUR STATUS" and know your truth! Wake County HIV/STD Community Program will provide free and confidential HIV & Syphilis Testing tonight, Wednesday, June 27th from 5 to 8pm in Clinic E of the Public Health Department located on 10 Sunnybrook Road! Go get tested and UPDATE YOUR STATUS!

If you can't make it tonight and want to get tested in the future, check out their testing calendar and map.
