Walgreens offers free HIV rapid tests in Chicago

Posted: Updated:
CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -

Wednesday is national HIV testing day.

Federal health officials said everyone should be tested for HIV at least once.

High risk groups like drug users, gay men, or people with multiple sex partners should be tested every year.

Getting an aids test is easier than ever.

Drug stores across the country are offering free rapid HIV tests, thanks to a new Center for Disease Control program.

The $1.2 million program allows each of the 24 locations to offer about 200 free tests.

Walgreens will be rolling out the program in select Chicago locations, as well as in Washington D.C. and Georgia.
