AHF hosts free rapid HIV testing in conjunction with Faithful Central Bible Church

Published on December 7, 2009 at 3:06 AM · No Comments

In observation of World AIDS Day 2009, AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the largest global AIDS group which currently provides more than 15,000 free HIV and STD tests annually in California via its community-based testing programs, is hosting a day of free rapid HIV testing in conjunction with Faithful Central Bible Church this Sunday December 6th starting at 6:00am going until 4:00pm at the congregation’s church in Inglewood (321 Eucalyptus Street, Inglewood, 90301). The HIV testing marathon—which is expected to be Los Angeles County’s largest ever single HIV testing event—is being held as part of AHF’s ‘Testing Millions’ campaign, a worldwide initiative to test more than three million people in conjunction with the observance of this year’s World AIDS Day, which officially fell on Tuesday, December 1st.

70 certified HIV testing technicians will work on five of AHF’s mobile HIV testing units—including AHF’s Magic Johnson and Blair Underwood Mobile Testing vans—as well as one large big-rig style specially outfitted testing truck. The testing units will be located in front of the church and in the parking lot.
