June 27th is National HIV Testing Day

The goal of National HIV Testing Day is to identify people who are HIV-positive and don't know it so they can access treatment and live longer, healthier lives. It also prevents new HIV infections by increasing education, awareness, and access to voluntary counseling and testing (VCT).

Below is a link to the CDC's National HIV Testing Resources website that contains promotional information and materials related to National HIV Testing Day. Some of these resources are designed specifically address the unique needs of youth.
