New York was one of the first major cities in theUnited States to be hit by the AIDS virus in the1980's.
Since that time, treatment for the disease has beengetting progressively better. In this public setting,off a busy New York street, a mini-laboratory isproviding free testing all day for the HIV virus. Its Health workers say it is non-intrusive andeasy.
“So the test is very simple, it comes in this packet it's pretty straightforward, there is noblood involved."
In New York City, one in five people who have the HIV virus to not know their status. So that'swhy the community has set up these mobile laboratories.
The test takes seconds, the results are back in about 20 minutes.
"So this top part you're going to slide it across your gums, back and forth, and then you woulddo the same thing on the bottom like if you are brushing your teeth.”
This is all part of a community health care network program to not only test, but to educateand provide some preventive measures. Despite all the progress, media program managerDiana Diaz says HIV is still a big problem.
“HIV is still increasing, although we've gotten an increase in medication, the availability of careand even insurances, we still have a new number of patients. We have an increase of abouteight percent every year of new patients."
Diaz says 90 percent of all new HIV cases among women in New York are either AfricanAmericans or Latinos. Almost 4,000 New Yorkers will be infected this year, which is goodreason-according to the City Health Department-to test. To date, more than 100,000 NewYorkers have died from AIDS-related causes.
