Some of the testing activities being conducted in observance of World AIDS Day are listed on face=Arial color=#0000ff this Web site s State events Spotlight page.
Testing
HIV testing is critical in fighting the spread of HIV. If a person tests positive, early detection of the disease allows for early treatment, which can prolong and improve an individual's quality of life. If negative, it reminds the participant to practice responsible behavior that reduces the risk of infection. For more information on HIV testing, or to find a testing location in your area, visit:
face=Arial color=#0000ff www.hivtest.org, a CDC service.
CARE
The Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act is Federal legislation that addresses the unmet health needs of persons living with HIV (PLWH) by funding primary healthcare and support services. The CARE Act was named after Ryan White, an Indiana teenager whose courageous struggle with HIV/AIDS and against AIDS-related discrimination helped educate the nation.
