Take the Test, Take Control: Family First Health recognizes National HIV Testing Day
with free, confidential testing open to everyone

TIME
9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

DATE
Friday, June 26, 2015

WHAT
Family First Health will offer free, confidential HIV testing at its George Street Center on June 26 in recognition of National HIV Testing Day.

Individuals are encouraged to “Take the Test. Take Control,” and will be able to choose from one of many incentives, including coupons and food items from Healthy World Café, Rita’s Italian Ice, Subway, Gold’s Gym, Jimmy Johns, Wendy’s, Marcello’s Pizza, York City Pretzel Company and more. Participants can also enter into a gift basket raffle.

Staff and volunteers will also be distributing condoms and educational materials in downtown York to encourage individuals to get tested at the George Street center. Testing is open to everyone, not just Family First Health patients.

WHERE
Family First Health
116 S. George St., York PA 17401

BACKGROUND
Centers for Disease Control recommends that health care providers test everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 at least once as part of routine health care. One in seven people in the United States who have HIV do not know they are infected. Family First Health provides free, confidential HIV testing at all five locations year-round, as part of routine medical care. In 2014, staff performed nearly 3,500 tests.
