Free HIV tests for at-risk blacks
Snohomish Health District will offer free, anonymous or confidential HIV testing on Monday for black people who are at risk.
Snohomish Health District will offer free, anonymous or confidential HIV testing on Monday for black people who are at risk.
No appointments are needed for the tests from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Rucker Building, 3020 Rucker Ave., Suite 106, in Everett. People who want an appointment can call 425-339-5298.
The test requires a drop of blood pricked from a finger, and results are ready within 30 minutes. Participants do not need photo identification, proof of residence or nationality.
Although black people are only about 12 percent of the U.S. population, they account for nearly half of all new HIV infections, the health district said.
