HIV Testing Bus Begins 5-Day Tour
A bus equipped with the means to carry out HIV tests will begin touring the country today, stopping in ten cities before winding up operations on Sunday.
Working under the slogan “Will you risk or will you test?,” the tour will provide free and anonymous testing to anyone who requests it, ETV reported today.
Keit Fomotškin, head of the project's organizer Businesses Against HIV, said everyone is welcome to take the test, but people in the 25-49 age group are especially encouraged to turn up as they are most likely to contract the disease.
