National HIV Testing Day --June 27th--is approaching, and the Webinar's goals are to heighten awareness and understanding of HIV testing, and encourage bloggers to share this information with their readers. The Webinar is designed for bloggers who blog about health related topics and/or those who reach communities infected, affected, or at highest-risk for HIV.
I have been invited to participate in the webinar. It will focus on these follwing questions:
1. Why should we care about HIV testing?
2. Who should get tested for HIV?
3. What happens when someone goes to get an HIV test?
4. What are some of the reasons people don’t get tested for HIV?
5. What are messages about HIV testing we can share with our blog readers?
If any readers want to leave comments or questions to be addressed at the webinar please leave a comment. The presenters will be Dr. Bernie Branson, CDC national HIV testing expert, Dr. Celia Maxwell from Howard University.
After the live event, a podcast and transcript of the Webinar will be available on AIDS.gov
Sunday, June 8

Good luck on your upcoming webinar. I am going to have to take a look at it after the live event. Please remeber to share with others that there still is the FDA-approved Home Access manufactured HIV test that is availabe at many pharmacies and can even be purchased anonymously on-line from various merchants. Limited access to testing should not be a reason to avoid being tested.
great blog. i've also been asked to participate in the webinar next week.
you've got great info and resources available for HIV/AIDS on your blog. I also have a blog that chronicles my struggles with HIV/AIDS, depression, & compulsion. Perhaps we can link to eachother.
