It’s National HIV Testing Day!

HIV often has no symptoms and the only way to know your status is to get tested. Testing empowers you to take control of your health and protect yourself and others.

Get tested today with EAC at our office in Little Rock or Texarkana.

Engaging Arkansas Communities @engagingarkansas.bsky.social · Jun 26

EAC will not be at Walgreens this Friday due to circumstances beyond our control.

However, we're still offering free HIV testing at our Little Rock & Texarkana offices from 9 AM–4 PM.

No appointment or insurance needed. #KnowYourStatus

Unemployment is higher among people living with #HIV than the general population.

This is even higher among trans and non-binary people, women, people of Black African ethnicity and those of other minority ethnicities, who are living with HIV.
