According to the CDC, more than 1.1 million people in the U.S. are infected with HIV and more than 200,000 don’t know it. The seasons change and sadly so can your status. The weather is getting hot and relationships are ending rapidly; however, before you go out and have that summer fling, protect yourself. June 27th is National HIV Testing Day and according to Dr. Rachel, from the TV show “The Doctors, Atlanta, Washington D.C, New York, and Miami are the cities’ where this epidemic is growing rapidly. In a casual or regular relationship is it important to know you and your partner’s status. With new at-home technology where you can test yourself, there is no excuse for you not to know your status. This test can be purchased in select Walmarts, Walgreens, Korgers, Rite Aids, or online at http://www.oraquick.com/. So this week go out, get tested, and know your status!
