The National HIV Testing Day may be over as this post is composed and published, but June 28 and thereafter is as good as any day to obtain an HIV Test.
As I mention on a continual basis on Lady Intelligence Live; in my book Big Girl Little Girl; on this platform, Lady Intelligence - The Blog; and as a part of the Get To Know Him Better Awareness Campaign; potential sexual partners should get tested together AND get the results together. That way both are on the same page. Although, it won't guarantee monogamy or the absence of future exposure, at least it's a step in knowing at that moment if that potential lover can affect someone with HIV - mainly YOU.
No longer does a person have to go to their doctor, a free clinic, or their local health department to get tested. A couple can take the test in privacy with an HIV Home Test (info from FDA.Gov).
There's no specific date to get tested. There are 365 days a year to do so.
