Free testing
« on: August 27, 2007, 03:43:11 pm »
I am not sure if i am allowed to post here as i am not HIV+.

I just found out through my own testing experience in the state of NC that they have just intoduced a "free" HIV Viral Load monitoring program through the state Health Departments. Just to clarify, this is separate from their NAT testing and detection program. After all the help I got from this site, I feel its my duty to let this word out so that a few folks can benefit. If you are in NC and would like to avail of this program, contact your health department at your convenience.

I am not sure if there are any restrictions/pre-conditions that need to be met though.

Sorry for intruding.
