First Thing's First HIV testing Campaign (17- 21 August 2015)

Good day all,

The Rhodes University Health Care Centre, HIV Office and SHARC in partnership with the Department of Health (DoH), AIDS Healthcare Foundation and Raphael Centre will be facilitating the second session of its "First Thing's First HIV testing Campaign" during the HIV week 17 - 21 August 2015.

This drive will include a free test for HIV and AIDS, TB screening, Blood Sugar, Blood Pressure (BP), Nutrition Assessment (BMI), Family Planning and Pap smear. 

Testing stations will be at the Eden Grove Foyer and Barrat Foyer (8h30 - 16h00).  First Things First aims to help students, as future leaders, to be responsible, get tested for HIV, know their status and commit to behaviour that would benefit them and their peers. Students and staff members are encouraged to take advantage of this unique campaign.

Do the right thing and be health wise!
