"Take the test, take control"


National HIV Testing Day, June 27 is an annual oberservance to promote HIV Testing.

The global HIV/AIDS epidemic is an unprecedented crisis that
requires an
unprecedented response. In particular it requires solidarity --
between the
healthy and the sick, between rich and poor, and above all, between
richer
and poorer nations. We have 30 million orphans already. How many more do
we
have to get, to wake up?" ...Kofi Annan
