This event is a part of the G.Y.P. (Get Yourself Protected) campaign being implemented by Health Promotion.

Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, can be asymptomatic (which means a person could have a STI and not know it).  One in five (21%) of those people living with HIV in the United States are unaware of their infection(CDC, 2008). The only way to be sure someone don’t have HIV is to be tested.

Health Promotion is proud to partner with AIDS Healthcare Foundation to provide this service to the Georgia Tech community.
