CHICAGO (AP) — It's National HIV Testing Day and health officials at a Chicago clinic are offering free and anonymous testing to the public.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
estimates that 1.1 million Americans are living with HIV and more than 20
percent of people don't know they're infected. Two yearly tests are
recommended.
The Howard Brown Health Center in Chicago is one of
the country's largest health care organizations. The center is offering free
and anonymous testing at its walk-in clinic on Monday from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Howard Brown was founded in 1974. The clinic
primarily serves the lesbian, gay bisexual and transgender community.
