“Open Door has been a part of National HIV Testing Day for more than 20 years,” Perry Maier, executive director of the Open Door Health Center of Illinois, said in a news release. “Getting tested is important so people know their status and can make better decisions about their health care needs.
“Engaging in care earlier increases better health outcomes. We are happy to collaborate with our community partner, Walgreens, on National HIV Testing Day. “We are proud to be in three different Walgreens locations: Aurora, DeKalb and Streamwood.”
