June 6, 2014 – The Coastal Health District HIV program will hold a free HIV testing event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, June 27 at Oglethorpe Mall (outside of Belk) in Savannah. Educational information, music and other entertainment will also be on hand. All testing will be done without needles and results will come back quickly and remain confidential.
The event is being held in support of National HIV Testing Day (NHTD) which takes place annually on June 27. Every year on NHTD, HIV testing events are held all over the country to encourage people to “Take the Test, Take Control.” Close to 1.1 million people are living with HIV and almost one in five don’t know they are infected. National HIV Testing Day is an opportunity for people to learn their HIV status and to gain knowledge that will help them take control of their lives and health.
The event is being sponsored by the Coastal Health District, M.A.C. Cosmetics, and WEAS 93.1.
