This coming Monday (June 27, 2011) is National HIV Testing Day. To mark this awareness day, the AIDS Council of Northeastern New York - along with the New York State Department of Health, Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood, and Whitney M. Young, Jr. Health Center - will be providing free, confidential HIV testing in locations throughout the community for a full week. The Times Union published an article online about these "Testing Week" activities. Specific information about testing dates, times, and locations provided by the AIDS Council and its community partners can be found by visiting www.aidscouncil.org. Testing information is also available on our GLBT-focused website, www.rubbaboyz.net.

If you found the AIDS Council's blog through Google and you're located outside New York's Capital Region or Northeastern New York, fear not: Visit www.aids.gov and enter your zip code in the "Find an HIV Test Site" section in the upper right corner of the page.
