Exciting news!
We have embarked on another HIV testing campaign, encouraging people to take charge of their health and get tested for HIV.
Why? Nearly 30% of people living with HIV in Ontario don't know that they have the virus. When people get tested, they can access treatment and support, and learn how to protect their partners.
Look out for our testing campaign advertisements across Guelph! We have a bus shelter ad located on the corner of Quebec Street and Wyndham Street (at St.George's Square.) Our digital ad (below) is playing in bars, restaurants and clinics across town. You will also find posters and postcards in social service agencies, stores and offices in Guelph and Wellington County.
We encourage you to download and share these resources yourself:

More information about the campaign can be found here.
We have rapid testing here at the AIDS Committee of Guelph and Wellington County, at 89 Dawson Road, Unit 115. Testing happens every Wednesday from 1:30 - 3:30. No appointment is required. Rapid testing means that you can find out if you are HIV negative right away, so there is no waiting. And it is anonymous, which means that your name and identity is not requested, recorded or reported.
