*******Do You Know Your HIV Status?*******

The one way you, personally, can stop the spread of HIV/AIDS is to know your own status.
Yes, it can be frightening to consider the possibility that you may be at risk for having been infected, but the consequences of not knowing can be far worse. Have you had unprotected sex any time in the past 20 years? Have you ever shared an IV needle? It's easy to convince ourselves that only "they" are at risk, but the reality is just the opposite. We can stop the spread of HIV, but only with information.

ACORN now offers free and anonymous HIV testing. We use a newly available, 99% accurate oral test (OraSure). A trained staff member takes a saliva sample from inside your cheek and we receive the test results back within two weeks. It's simple, easy, non-invasive, anonymous, confidential, quick, and free.

If you have any reason to believe you may have been exposed to HIV, please consider being tested. Don't take chances with your own health and don't take the chance of unintentionally passing the virus on to someone else. Together, we can all help stop the spread of this still deadly virus.

Just contact the ACORN office for more information or a testing appointment. If you like, a staff member can even come to you.
