National HIV Testing Day

June 27th is National HIV Testing Day. An annual campaign to encourage people of all ages to “Take the Test and Take Control”.

Everyone has an HIV status, and knowing your HIV status will help you plan for the future. If you test negative for HIV, you can take steps to help you remain HIV negative. If you test positive for HIV, you can seek medical treatment earlier, gain access to HIV care, treatment, and support, as well as reduce the risk of passing the virus to others.
