LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Community Care, a nonprofit agency in Lower Lake, will provide free, anonymous HIV testing on two upcoming dates.
The first testing will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, March 14, at the Yuba College Clear Lake Campus, Room 901, 15880 Dam Road Extension in Clearlake.
Another testing will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, April 15, at the Bridge Peer Support Center, 14954 Burns Valley Road in Clearlake.
Individuals interested in testing will have an opportunity to meet with a test counselor before and after testing.
Counseling before and after a HIV test is important because it provides critical information about HIV itself and about the testing process.
The oral swab test will provide results in 20 minutes. Once the results are available, individuals will be given the results in private and in person.
More than 1.1 million people in the United Stated are living with HIV infection and almost one in six are unaware of their infection.
Early diagnosis and treatment saves lives.
