People with specific risk factors should increase testing to once a year. National HIV Testing Day promotes health and wellness in the community by encouraging people to go out and get tested on June 27th.
“Each year, on June 27, we observe National HIV Testing Day (NHTD). On this day, we unite with partners, health departments, and other organizations to raise awareness about the importance of HIV testing and early diagnosis of HIV” Says Executive Director Kevin Burns, “People living with HIV can achieve Wellness when they have access to good primary care, medication, housing, and support! All of us at Action Wellness encourage everyone to get tested, know your HIV status and if you are HIV positive, access the services you need to achieve and maintain WELLNESS”.
