The largest National HIV Testing Day activation in the nation! Since 2011, KFF’s Greater Than HIV and Walgreens have joined with health departments and community partners to provide FREE tests, PrEP referrals, linkages to care and more.
More than 93,000 HIV/STD rapid tests have been provided through the activation since our launch in 2011. And even more reached with information.
In 2024, testing partners had the opportunity to offer on-site syphilis and hepatitis C testing, along with HIV.
