The Real Test on National HIV Testing Day
June 22, 2016
Monday, June 27 is National HIV Testing Day. Each year, HIV/AIDS organizations all over this country, take this opportunity to get people to test for HIV and to also educate people about HIV/AIDS. National HIV Testing Day is a prime opportunity to have conversations about sex and sexuality; which I think is the greatest test, the test of our courage as persons and as a people. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and all of their partners and contractors will be aggressively promoting all of the many different HIV campaigns launched by the CDC. Campaigns such as, Doing It, We Can Stop HIV One Conversation at a Time, Let’s Stop HIV Together, Start Talking. Stop HIV, Reasons, Take Charge.
