Passing the Test: The Truth About HIV Tests
April 15, 2008 | Atlanta, Georgia | Vetting explained
With the increase in people living with HIV and AIDS, there has also been an increase of educational resources available on the subject.

In this "Being Black in America" HBCU Tour Contest iReport, I attempt to dispel some of the myths about HIV testing procedures by providing facts on HIV tests, as well as filming my most recent HIV test.
