National HIV Testing Day is June 27

The National Association of People with AIDS, in partnership with HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau, will sponsor its seventh annual National HIV Testing Day on June 27.

The campaign encourages people at risk for HIV infection to "Take the Test," know their HIV status and reduce their risks for HIV transmission. NAPWA and other national partners, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, support state and local efforts to start campaigns aimed at educating the public about HIV prevention, counseling, testing and referral services.

This year's event focuses on outreach to women, African Americans, Latinos, young people, and gay, bisexual and transgender men.

For more information about National HIV Testing Day and resources to conduct a local campaign, visit http://www.nhtd.org on the Web or call (202) 898-0414.
