National HIV Testing Day: Know Your Status
June 27 marks an important day in the effort to end the HIV epidemic: National HIV Testing Day. Chicago House proudly recognizes this significant occasion, urging everyone to take the proactive step of getting tested. Knowing your HIV status is crucial not only for your own health but also for the well-being of your loved ones and the community at large. By promoting regular testing, we can break the stigma surrounding HIV, encourage early detection, and ensure individuals receive the care and support they need.
Regular HIV testing plays a vital role in preventing the spread of HIV and maintaining individual health. Testing empowers individuals with knowledge, enabling them to make informed decisions about their sexual health and access appropriate medical care. Chicago House provides accessible and confidential testing services, supporting individuals in their journey to stay healthy.
