In anticipation of National HIV
Testing Day on Thursday, UC San Francisco's Allied Health Project is launching
the first mobile testing center in The City.
The van will make it even easier for
gay men and men who have sex with men to get tested and know their sexual
history. Gay men are encouraged to get tested every six months.
The mobile van is an extension of
the health project's testing program, which began in 1985 with San Francisco's
first large-scale anonymous HIV counseling and testing program.
Allied Health Project offers HIV
testing any day of the week and at any time. The program also provides
referrals to newly diagnosed clients.
The Friends of AIDS Foundation is
dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for HIV positive individuals and
empowering people to make healthy choices to prevent the spread of the HIV
virus.
