Available on Nueve de Julio at the ‘Martín Callegaro’ Community Integration Center every Tuesday
The Health Secretariat of the Municipality of Nueve de Julio continues to offer anonymous, confidential and free rapid tests for the detection of HIV. This service is carried out by a team of properly trained professionals, with the aim of promoting public health and disease prevention.
Hours and Location
The rapid tests are carried out every Tuesday at the Community Integration Center (CIC), located at the intersection of Moreno and French streets. Opening hours are from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 1 to 4 p.m., thus facilitating access to the local population.
Importance of Early Detection
It is crucial to note that HIV can be an initially asymptomatic disease, with no obvious clinical manifestations for prolonged periods. Detecting the virus in early stages makes it possible to initiate appropriate treatment, control the disease and reduce the risk of transmission to other people. Therefore, the importance of regular screening tests is stressed, especially for those who may have been exposed to the virus.
Prevention and Education
In addition to early detection, prevention remains essential. HIV is a sexually transmitted disease, like others such as syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and gonorrhea. These diseases can be prevented by adopting responsible sexual practices, which include correct and consistent condom use.
For more information about HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, the community is recommended to consult their nearest health center. It is essential to be informed and take preventive measures to maintain sexual health and general well-being.
Conclusions
The initiative of the Health Secretariat of the Municipality of Nueve de Julio reflects a continuous commitment to public health and the well-being of the community. By offering rapid HIV tests anonymously, confidentially and free of charge, access to crucial health services is facilitated, thus promoting early detection that can save lives.
For those interested in taking advantage of this service, you are encouraged to go to the Community Integration Center during the aforementioned hours and take advantage of this opportunity to take care of your health.
