Additionally, free rapid syphilis and hepatitis C testing will be available in many locations.
Subheading 1: Why Get Tested?
Sexually transmitted diseases can be asymptomatic, making regular testing crucial. Knowing your HIV status is essential for a healthy life and preventing disease transmission. The quick finger-stick test at Walgreens provides immediate results, empowering individuals to take control of their health.
Subheading 2: A Broader Reach
This public-private partnership brings testing directly to communities in familiar settings. Walgreens invests in training its pharmacy team members to address the specific challenges faced by people living with HIV. Beyond HIV testing, the effort also aims to raise awareness about prevention, treatment, and care.
