In commemoration of World AIDS Day, a community-wide free HIV testing event will be held on Wednesday, December 1st at The OutCenter, located at 132 Water Street, downtown Benton Harbor from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. This event is co-sponsored by CARES, the Berrien County Health Department and The OutCenter. It’s an opportunity to “GET TESTED and KNOW YOUR STATUS.”
Everyone is encouraged to join us to get tested, or to affirm their support for the prevention of HIV in our communities, and for those already affected.
