The Coastal Health District HIV Prevention Team and Savannah State University’s “Know to Live Program” will host a free HIV testing event on Wednesday, September 7, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the King Frazier Student Center, SSU campus.

The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that one out of six people living with HIV/AIDS in the U.S. is unaware of their HIV status. In an effort to encourage people to get tested and know their status, the Coastal Health District HIV program and Savannah State University’s “Know to Live” Program will hold a free HIV testing event from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Wednesday, September 7, at the King Frazier Student Center on the SSU campus. The event is open to the public.

Testing is confidential and will be done without the use of a needle. Those tested will get results in 20 minutes. A follow-up visit will be scheduled for anyone who tests positive and counseling will be made available to those individuals.
