June 27th, 2009 was the 14th commemoration of National HIV
Testing Day. President Obama recognized the day by posting a video to the White
House blog of him and the First Lady getting tested and he urged all of us to
take control of our health - protect those we love - by getting tested for HIV
and working to reduce HIV transmission. |
