The National Association of People with AIDS will sponsor the 6th annual National HIV Testing Day on June 27. National HIV Testing Day is a nationwide campaign promoting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) education and voluntary HIV counseling, testing, and referral to encourage persons at risk for HIV infection to know their HIV status and reduce their risks for HIV transmission.

Public health and other partners are encouraged to support community HIV education and counseling, testing, and referral efforts during the week of June 27. Activities can include sponsoring mobile HIV counseling, testing, and referral units; participating in health fairs where HIV education, counseling, testing, and referral are offered; and partnering with local media to promote HIV-prevention messages.

Additional information about HIV counseling, testing, and referral services is available on the World-Wide Web at http://www.hivtest.org*.
