Testing Thursdays...


One of the best parts I like about my job at CAMP is doing HIV Testing and Counseling. Besides sexual health counseling, this is the one program where I get to talk to men and women at the moment they are in most need of someone who can answer their questions about sexual health concerns or at least give them some peace of mind.


Today was one of those days for Anthony. He gave his second HIV+ result to a young gay man. Giving postive results is a tough job. You are with the client at the very moment - they hear some distrubing news. Anthony did a great job this evening. I am really glad to have him be part of the CAMPsafe family.
Thanks Anthony!!

How great that guys no longer need to wait weeks for HIV test results. Whether positive or negative, knowing sooner is better.

You bet it makes a difference. When we first started doing HIV testing - it took two weeks to get your result! Now its just 10 minutes!
