Myths around HIV need to be dispelled: participant of the action

July 25, 2023

Summer is in full swing. And this means that it's time for actions to prevent HIV infection in the open air is gaining momentum.

On July 25, a mobile rapid testing and counseling center was deployed on the territory of the Central City Park of Kokshetau, where everyone could find out their HIV status and get expert advice.

According to the participant of the action Victoria, such actions are necessary because, according to our ideas, people with HIV are contagious, dangerous to us. But these are all myths that need to be developed. In addition, the girl believes that modern people's lives are very busy, where they do not always find time for their health. And thanks to such events, you can check your HIV status for free, quickly, easily and affordably.

Recall that similar actions in the park and on the territory of the Central Department Store will be held monthly from July to October once or twice a month. You can learn more about the time of the event from our social networks.
