Red Cross sets HIV testing goal

Monday, 07 December 2009 by Rahul

The local American Red Cross is encouraging people to get tested for HIV this month in recognition of World AIDS Day. The Wyoming Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross kicked off its campaign, 'The 21 Days of Christmas," on Dec. 1, with a goal of testing residents and educating them about HIV. With the campaign's slogan, "Give yourself the greatest gift, know your status," the organization is also encouraging people to stay informed when it comes to their health. HIV, human immunodeficiency virus, attacks the immune system and may be passed from person to person through the blood and some bodily fluids. Infected pregnant women can pass HIV to their baby during pregnancy or delivery, and through breast-feeding. Those who stop in for an HIV test will be entered in a raffle drawing to win a holiday food basket, clothing and a gift card, according to the organization. Those who attend a HIV 101 education meeting, lasting about 15 minutes, will receive a holiday gift. The state Department of Health recommends that Pennsylvanians be tested regularly for HIV. "Getting tested is the only way to know your health status and knowing your status is the only way to ensure you receive proper treatment," said Department of Health Secretary Everette James. "We are working to educate the public and ensure that prevention, testing, treatment and counseling services are readily available across the state." In Pennsylvania, 2,272 new HIV/AIDS cases were diagnosed and reported during 2008. More than one million people in the United States are living with HIV/AIDS, with more than 55,000 new infections diagnosed each year. Source: citizensvoice.com
