Our Response to COVID-19
ABWP and Gilead Sciences, Inc. Encourages to Get HIV Testing & Know Your Status
June 27, is National HIV Testing day! ABWP and Gilead Sciences, Inc. encourage you to get HIV testing and make sure to #knowyourstatus.
“Only two-thirds (63%) of those who knew they had HIV had the virus under control through effective treatment. Young people and African Americans were least likely to have the virus under control.”
“About 18% (219,700) of the 1.2 million people who could benefit from PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV, had received a prescription for the medication. Coverage was especially low among young people, African Americans, and Latinos who could benefit from PrEP.”
Make sure to get HIV tested, know your status, and ask your doctors about PrEP.
