Assemblyman Anthony Portantino tells us in his newsletter that, in observance of National HIV Testing Day next Sat., June 27, he will be hosting free HIV testing at Vroman's Bookstore in Pasadena.
Says Portantino:
Although HIV continues to spread and is particularly spreading among minority women, there is a persistent stigma attached to testing. That's why I am going to be tested and am inviting the public to have their cheeks swabbed in a rapid and confidential HIV test. Testing will take place from 10 AM to 1 PM at the patio adjacent to Vroman's Bookstore at 695 E. Colorado Blvd, Pasadena. Spread the word and join me for testing and/or education provided by the Pasadena Public Health Department and AIDS Service Center.
