Since 2011, the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), through it’s Greater Than HIV public information initiative, and Walgreens, one of the nation’s largest drug store chains, have teamed with health departments and HIV service organizations across the nation to provide free HIV testing and information in Walgreens stores in support of National HIV Testing Day (NHTD) on June 27th.
The Greater Than HIV / Walgreens National HIV Community Partnership offers a unique public-private model to support communities in their Ending the HIV Epidemic responses. By extending the reach of testing and informational resources in non-traditional settings, the Partnership helps normalize conversations about HIV and reach wider audiences about the latest advances.
More than 72,000+ free HIV tests, including 15,300 self-tests, have been provided in Walgreens stores on or around NHTD – and many more people have been reached with critical information – since the launch of the Partnership in 2011.
