About one in eight HIV-positive Americans don’t realize they have the virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Family First Health in York City offered free screenings Monday for National HIV Testing Day in hopes of helping those people.
“It’s been a great event,” said Shannon McElroy, Caring Together program manager with Family First. “We’ve been doing this for four years, walking the streets to hand out fliers and condoms and getting people to come in for free testing.”
