Human Rights Campaign Foundation Launches In-Home HIV Testing Campaign – Human Rights Campaign

To request a kit, visit mybodymyhealth.org; also in Spanish, mybodymyhealth.org/es.

Along with the HIV in-home test kits, HRC Foundation’s community campaign, launched last year, targets regions across the country that are the most affected by HIV/AIDS – communities and partners including New Orleans, LA (Community Health PIER), Miami, FL (Arianna’s Center), Washington DC (Us Helping Us), Puerto Rico (Arianna’s Center), Indianapolis, IN (BU Wellness Network) and Greenville, MS (Brotherhood Incorporated). This groundbreaking digital advocacy, public awareness campaign seeks to educate and activate Black and Latinx communities through discussing the intersections of sexual health, race and queerness in order to dismantle long-lasting HIV stigma and fear.

Supported by Gilead Sciences, the home-service fits under the umbrella of My Body, My Health, a comprehensive public education campaign that works toward building a generation free of HIV/AIDS. In addition to disseminating testing kits, the program provides referrals to PrEP providers in the person’s area, and links HIV positive individuals to care via navigation services. The kits will include an OraQuick oral swab, condoms, lubricants, and a test information card. This campaign is being promoted through paid and organic social media marketing as well as in-person events, like Pride events across the country. HRC has also created resources to complement the test kits, such as an online service page that shows local HIV prevention and treatment services.
