So, have you ever been tested? Look at you, blushing. We know. We’ve never had an HIV test either, and man, that's embarrassing. We've never needed to be tested, and what sort of sad, cloistered life must have befallen a person who grew up during the frenzy of the AIDS epidemic and has reached middle age without knowing the gnawing unease that sends one off to get tested? Virtuous? No, just dull. Maybe you've been more of a risk taker. If that's the case, then this Wednesday, National HIV Testing Day, is your day. The Resource Center of Dallas will provide free, rapid HIV and syphilis testing from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Nelson-Tebedo Health Resource Center, 4012 Cedar Springs Road. Free oral HIV tests and syphilis screenings will be offered from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at JR's Bar and Grill, 3923 Cedar Springs Road. For more information call 214-393-3650.
Wed., June 27, 5-9 p.m.
