High-profile HIV test

Bay Area Reporter - December 7, 2006

Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-Oakland) gets an HIV test on World AIDS Day, Friday, December 1, at the AIDS Project of the East Bay. Lee took the test in an effort to bring attention to the importance of regular testing in African American and other minority communities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention earlier this year issued new recommendations calling for virtually all Americans to get tested.
