The Pediatric and Youth HIV Program,
a partnership between the University of Connecticut Health Center and
Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, will collaborate with the Hartford Youth
HIV Identification and Linkage (HYHIL) Consortia to co-sponsor an outreach
event offering free HIV screenings.
The event will take place on
National HIV Testing Day, June 27, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., at 2550 Main Street
in Hartford, Conn.
The outreach effort will encourage
people, especially adolescents, to “Take the Test, Take Control” to learn their
HIV status and be connected to medical care. HYHIL collaborated with the
Hartford Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative, Latino Community Services, AIDS
of CT, and other community agencies to offer the voluntary HIV screenings.
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.
