Love, Chocolate and a Cotton Swab...

For Valentines Week, Hispanic AIDS Forum (HAF) and fifteen other organizations have united to provide free Rapid HIV Testing from February 9th to the 16th.

The campaign, “Love, Chocolate and a Cotton Swab”, underlines the importance of getting tested early, condom use and the ease of the HIV test by using the new Rapid Testing technology which provides results in approximately 20 minutes. The HIV test is confidential and does not require the use of needles or blood.

During the campaign, Hispanic AIDS Forum will give away small care bags with items for safer sex, such as condoms, lubricants, etc. as well as literature on Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs).

Hispanic AIDS Forum, offers free treatment education, case management assistance, counseling, and other innovative services on HIV/AIDS to the Latino population of New York. For more information, please call (212) 563-4500 or visit http://www.hafnyc.org.
