Not Quite So...


This piece meant well, but missed the mark.  It tells you how easy it is to find free or low cost HIV testing & treatment nearby.   There is a service finder link on the page.  It jumps  to Ryan White, which allows you to look for providers near you.  It failed for me.  It has a range of 100 miles & the nearest to me is over 120 miles away.   So you're poor & think you need testing, how do you get that far & back?  Then depending on the test, have to get back again for the results.  

As for treatment, good luck.  There is nothing easy about finding low cost treatment in Oklahoma.   There are places that might be able to help you, but it won't be a simple, quick process.  

Tomorrow is national hiv testing day.  If you can't find a place.  I'd suggest your local health department for free HIV/STD testing.  Just a reminder.  Other than getting it, nothing about HIV is easy.

Cya...
