Residents can access free screenings for HIV, hepatitis, and diabetes from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday at the University of Maryland Medical Center’s Midtown Campus.
The campus’s Outpatient Tower, located at 800 Linden Ave., will hold the screenings in recognition of World AIDS Day, which was officially commemorated on Sunday.
“The screenings will be discreet and confidential, providing an opportunity to get tested and learn about available prevention and exposure treatment options, including life-saving HIV medications that make the virus virtually undetectable,” reads a news release.
Visitors can also make appointments for free pre- and post-exposure treatments.
“THRIVE,” a comprehensive HIV clinic that was formed in partnership with UMMC and the medical school’s Institute of Human Virology, will host the screenings.
