National HIV Testing Day - A message from President Obama
by Miguel Gomez
Throughout the month of June, we've been asking people to share their HIV testing stories.
Today, in recognition of National HIV Testing Day, President Obama released a special video message about the importance of HIV testing and his own experiences getting an HIV test in Kenya.
The White House has used Twitter
, YouTube and other new media tools to get the word out about this video and to spread the word about the importance of knowing your HIV status. We encourage you to watch the video and share it with your friends, co-workers and family.
To find a local HIV testing site, send a text message with your ZIP code to KNOWIT (566948) or visit www.HIVtest.org.

Well done Mr. President! Still an example for most politicians.
