Take the Test, Take Control: HIV Testing and Awareness Event

On Saturday, June 27, 2009, the Center for Urban Population Health contributed to the Cream City Medical Society led 4th annual “Take the Test, Take Control” event in conjunction with the National HIV Testing Day as organized by the National Association of People with AIDS (NAPWA). In response to the CDC’s recommendation to offer screening and information on HIV testing, this year’s event targeted high school youth through the collaboration with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Milwaukee and was held at the LaVarnway Boys and Girls Club. HIV and STI screening were provided free of charge by a number of local organizations.  The event included interactive educational workshops, entertainment and lunch. The event was attended by over 200 people with almost 70 youth screened for HIV, Chlamydia and gonorrhea. Read more.
