HIV/AIDS Testing & Awareness
Most Recent Event
On June 27th, HAWI conducted an overwhelmingly successful distribution of nearly 175 HIV Self-Test Kits at the Lee Road Walgreen’s, as part of the nationwide National HIV Testing Day. This initiative was undertaken in collaboration with Greater Than HIV and our local Walgreen’s, as one of the many nonprofits participating. On the same date we educated youth in Homabay County, Kenya about HIV testing methods, conducted counseling sessions, and discussed preventive measures, faithfulness, and linking those with positive results to proper care. The youth also learned about HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases while enjoying a wide assortment of provided refreshments and beverages.
