Today (27 June) is National HIV Testing Day in the United States. Theme of the Year “Doing It My Way” highlights how and why people make testing part of their lives – on their terms and in their way. 

To curb the spread of HIV/ AIDS among young people in Hong Kong, Hong Kong AIDS Foundation (the “Foundation”) is going to launch a free service to adolescents, namely “HIV self-test at home” (the “Self-test”), within the year. We anticipate more young people are willing to conduct HIV tests following the introduction of the Self-test.  Details of the Self-test will be released soon.  Stay tuned with our forthcoming posts!

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE.  The best way to minimise risk of AIDS and sexually transmitted infections is to perform safer sex through using condoms in a proper way. Furthermore, HIV test should be an integral part of regular physical examination.

For enquiries or appointment of free, anonymous and confidential HIV tests, please contact our staff during business hours by calling the Foundation’s AIDS Helpline at 2513 0513 or by means of WhatsApp / LINE.
