MCG Ryan White Outreach Team


  • Since 1996, the MCG Ryan White Outreach Team has provided free, confidential HIV testing, education, counseling and treatment referrals at testing sites throughout the Aiken-Augusta area. The team is supported through a Ryan White Part C Grant, which provides funding for early intervention services and treatment.

 

  • The mission of the outreach team is early intervention. Early detection and early treatment is the key to living with HIV/AIDS. Thanks to advances in treatment, those diagnosed with HIV/AIDS can now live long and productive lives, if they receive proper, regular treatment.

  

FREE Rapid HIV Testing
 

 

 

Testing involves use of the OraQuick Advance Rapid HIV antibody test, a simple oral test in which a swab of the inside of the mouth is taken and and developed on-site. Confidential results are available after 20 minutes.

Take the National Health Care Survey - Deadline July 7

As health care reform is being discussed and debated across the country, this is a critical time to ensure that the issues of LGBT people and people living with HIV are included as part of the discussion.

Please consider participating in Lambda Legal’s national Health Care Fairness Survey. This survey provides an opportunity to better document the unique health care experiences and needs of LGBT people and people living with HIV. Information from this survey will be used to educate politicians and other decision-makers about the specific problems health care reform must address.

In order to be most effective, the survey should reflect the entire LGBT and HIV communities. They especially need to hear from people of color, transgender people, seniors, youth (18 and older) and other members of our communities who are often underrepresented. The survey is available in English and Spanish.

The deadline is July 7th.

To take the survey please visit www.lambdalegal.org/healthsurvey for English and www.lambdalegal.org/sondeosalud for Spanish.
