At Matthew 25 AIDS Services, knowing your HIV status is something worth celebrating, and there’s no better time than during the organization’s 30th Anniversary celebration.
This year, Matthew 25 is partnering with Greater Than HIV and Walgreens to host three fun, welcoming pop-up HIV testing events designed to help community members take charge of their sexual health in a stigma-free environment.
“After 30 years of serving our community, there’s nothing more meaningful than helping people stay healthy and informed,” said Rachel Trout, PR & Fundraising Specialist for Matthew 25.
“We encourage everyone to think of getting tested to take charge of their sexual health and as a birthday gift to us. Testing is always free and confidential with Matthew 25.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
- Everyone between the ages of 13–64 should get tested for HIV at least once as part of routine healthcare.
- Nearly 158,000 people in the United States are living with HIV and don’t know it yet, making routine testing critically important.
- HIV testing is quick, easy, and in most cases, results can be available in 60 seconds or less.
Community members are invited to join Matthew 25 at the following locations:
10- a.m. to 7 p.m. June 24
- Walgreens, 2318 Frederica Street, Owensboro, KY 42301
- Featuring Matthew 25’s mobile testing unit
- Walgreens, 402 Second Street, Henderson, KY 42420
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 27
- Walgreens, 925 South Green River Road, Evansville, IN 47715
Whether it’s a person’s first HIV test or part of their regular healthcare routine, every test helps break stigma, increase awareness, and move the community forward.
Matthew 25 invites the public to celebrate 30 years of care, compassion, and community, one test at a time.
For those unable to attend a testing event, Matthew 25 encourages supporters to participate in the organization’s “$30 for 30” campaign honoring 30 years of service. Community members can scan the QR code or use the donation link provided by Matthew 25 to contribute.
