National HIV Testing Day
is June 27, 2008.

In Philadelphia from 1980 until June 2007 about 24,668 people have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. 16,024 of those people are still alive, but more than 8,000 are dead. Unfortunately because many Philadelphians don’t know that they have HIV, the number of people living with the virus is certainly higher. HIV can take years to make a person sick with AIDS, which is when many first find out they were infected. Getting tested early in HIV infection could save thousands of lives because treatment works! Help keep our brothers, sisters, neighbors, lovers and yourself healthy by getting tested today! [Statistics from AACO]
