HealthyMD partners with Atlanta church for World AIDS Day, offering free HIV tests to fight stigma.

HealthyMD, a Black-owned healthcare company, partnered with New Birth Missionary Baptist Church for a World AIDS Day event offering free HIV testing in Atlanta. The initiative aims to reduce stigma and increase access to testing, particularly in underserved communities. In the US, Black and Brown communities account for over half of new HIV cases despite making up only one-third of the population. The CDC also promoted HIV self-testing, offering free shipping on test kits until December, to improve testing and reduce stigma.
