Open to Native American/Alaska Native community members*. (*Medicine bundles availability prioritized for tribal members. Rapid HIV self-test kits are provided for all community members who register.)
This is a great first step to take in addressing HIV/AIDS stigma. Knowing your status not only gives you powerful information to keep you and your partner healthy but also helps to destigmatize and normalize testing for HIV. If our community takes the initiative to know their status, folks have easier access to prevention tools and treatment when needed – helping to maintain their best health possible.
