Free HIV Testing

Planned Parenthood Westside health center to offer Free HIV Testing
in Honor of World AIDS Day on Dec. 1
WHAT:
In recognition of World AIDS Day, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, will be offering the public free HIV testing at our Westside health center on Dec. 1 WHY:
Over 30 years ago the first case of HIV/AIDS was reported in the Unites States. Today more than 1.1 million Americans live with HIV. Every 9.5 minutes someone in the United States is infected. In Colorado, there are 11,000… Show more people known to be living with HIV/AIDS. This number does not reflect the fact that 1 in 5 people living with HIV are not aware that they have HIV.
World AIDS Day is an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of HIV testing as well as remember the lives that have been lost and to support those who are living with HIV/AIDS.
WHO:
The United States Preventive Services Task Force now recommends that all Americans aged 15-65 receive routine HIV testing, not just those most at risk
