Know Your Status:
Know Your Status is a current study that aims to encourage and support HIV testing among ACB women. The study included a community-based pilot HIV testing program that took testing services out of the clinic and into local settings where ACB women socialize.
The project also worked with a number of community-based organizations to build their capacity to offer testing services in ways that are relevant and accessible for ACB women.
​
The Know Your Status video was created to share the results of this pilot and mobilize community action.
​
No one should have the fear of getting HIV tested and no one should be stopped from having the information they need to make an informed choice
