National HIV Testing Day: Free Event in Logan for Women!

This month marks the 30th anniversary of the first documented cases of AIDS. This condition was originally known as a gay man's disease but we now know that HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, does not discriminate. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is spread through four body fluids; blood, semen, vaginal fluids & breast milk. If a person does not come in contact with any of these fluids they are not at risk for contracting HIV, so using the same utensils, sharing cups, hugging, kissing and touching people with the virus will not put you in harms way.

HIV is on the rise in the Black community with Black women at the greatest risk. Today in the Logan section of Philadelphia The Sisters Informing Healing Living & Empowering (SIHLE) Project & The Women's Anonymous Test Site is sponsoring Young Sisters Take Charge (YSTC), a one day health fair and HIV testing event. YSTC will feature live entertainment, information sessions, a glamor photo shoot, free food and free HIV testing. YSTC is taking place from 10am to 3:30pm at the Logan/Olney E3 Center 5201 Old York Rd and admission is FREE. If you don't know your HIV status take a minute today and get tested, it could save your life!
