June 5th marks 40 years since the first cases of AIDS were reported by the federal government. It is also HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day. On this anniversary we honor the many friends and loved ones we lost to AIDS/HIV and we celebrate the many advances that have been made in the last 40 years. North Central Health District encourages you to get tested by going to NCHD52.org/HIV and schedule an appointment, or to request free condoms and an at-home HIV test kit. #NCHD...52 #HLTSAD #AIDSat40 See more
