Observed each year on February 7, National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD) is a day to promote HIV testing and raise awareness of the impact of HIV/AIDS in the Black community-one of the communities hardest hit by the disease. This year’s NBHAAD theme, “I am my brother/sister’s keeper: Fight HIV/AIDS,” reminds us that to effectuate change in any movement, we must work together for the collective good and sometimes this work requires us to put up a good fight. As a part of this fight Memphis Health Center will provide free HIV testing on Thursday, Feb. 7 from 8 am – 5 pm at our main location: 360 E. H. Crump Blvd. Free information on prevention and treatment for HIV/AIDS will be provided as well.
