Get Tested!    It’s EASY!! 

It is a lot easier to get an HIV test now.  The state of Arizona changed the law last year.  You go in and ask for the test.  Then you talk to someone for a few minutes.  Then you get a rapid test that gives you results in about 20 minutes.  You don’t have to sign anything.  You don’t have to wait for two weeks.  You don’t have to go back in and sit in the waiting room and wonder what they are going to tell you.

You get a rapid test and, in about half an hour, you’re on your way.  Even if the rapid test comes back positive, within an hour you’ll have lots of information about getting care and connecting to people for support.  Even though getting a positive test result is still hard, knowing your status is worth it.

Get tested.  Positive or negative, this is the first step in taking control of your health and your life.  Get informed.  Get tested.  Get in care.  Get involved.  You can do this.  And now it’s a lot easier to get done. See forms for more information.

National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day

In 2005, women represented 26 percent of new AIDS diagnoses, compared to only 11 percent of new AIDS cases reported in 1990. Most women are infected with HIV through heterosexual contact and injection drug use.

Women of color are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS. AIDS is now the leading cause of death for Black women ages 25 to 34.

This day marks an opportunity to increase awareness of the devastating and disproportionate effects of AIDS in the Latino community. NLAAD is also a day to encourage HIV testing and to push for support from public officials and religious leaders.                                                                                                    While Latinos only make up about 14% of the U.S. population, they account for 19% of the AIDS cases in the U.S. since the start of the epidemic. In 2004, Latinos accounted for 20% of the new AIDS cases in the U.S.
