Planned Parenthood to offer Free HIV Testing at Select Health Centers in Honor of World AIDS Day on Dec. 2

In recognition of World AIDS Day, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, will be offering the public free HIV testing at select health centers on Monday, Dec. 2.

Over 30 years ago the first case of HIV/AIDS was reported in the Unites States. Today more than 1.1 million Americans live with HIV. Every 9.5 minutes someone in the United States is infected. In Colorado, there are 11,000 people known to be living with HIV/AIDS. This number does not reflect the fact that 1 in 5 people living with HIV are not aware that they have HIV.

World AIDS Day is an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of HIV testing as well as remember the lives that have been lost and to support those who are living with HIV/AIDS.
