HIV testing kits available for 2017 NLAAD “Be a Superhero. Defeat HIV” campaign

As part of this year’s NLAAD campaign “Be a Superhero. Defeat HIV”, we have secured a donation of HIV testing kits for the organizations that require them for NLAAD events, through partnership with ALERE and ORASURE.

These test kits are available now, and in order to obtain a set of 25 kits (ALERE) or a maximum of 50 kits (ORASURE) for a NLAAD event, it is required to register the event in our website www.nlaad.org, and fill out the order form also in our website, or directly at this link after you register your event: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2ZRP9SC

It is estimated that one fourth of individuals living with HIV do not know they have the virus, therefore testing is a very important part of the tools and “superpowers” we possess to defeat HIV and work towards ending the epidemic. Knowing our HIV status helps us to lower our risk of either acquiring or transmitting the virus.
