HiM - HIV Testing
Knowing your HIV status is important for your health and the health of others. Testing is the only way to know your status for sure. Whatever the reason for testing – for most guys, it’s better to know their status so they don't inadvertently pass on the virus if they are infected and unaware. In Vancouver, 1 in 5 gay men have HIV. Of those guys with HIV, about 14% are unaware of their positive status. Stop in and get a free HIV test that is quick and accurate courtesy of HiM - Health Initiative for Men The free testing area is located in the Cypress Office, just beside the Cypress Room.
