POWER Project Hits the Streets!
After unveiling our new mobile clinic during National HIV Testing Day in June, The POWER Project is taking it to the streets, offering fast, free HIV testing and information around Baltimore.

National HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day is Sept. 18
National HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day was launched by The AIDS Institute in an effort to raise awareness due to the alarming increase in the number of older adults becoming infected with HIV as well as those older adults over 50 aging with HIV.
The day is the perfect time to talk about getting tested for HIV and, for those living with HIV, getting and staying in care.
