Join BABES Network-YWCA on Thursday, March 8th to celebrate National Women & Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day!

The health fair will run from 4pm-8pm at the YWCA in downtown Seattle – at 1118 Fifth Avenue. You’ll have access to free screenings, including HIV testing, Hepatitis-C testing, blood pressure checks and diabetes testing. Other local health and women’s organizations will also be on-site to share information.

The health education panel discussion will start at 6pm, with 3 women living with HIV and 3 community members.

All women and girls are invited – especially those at risk of contracting HIV and who are struggling financially. Come take advantage of the fair’s free health screenings!

“Women often place themselves last on their ‘to do’ list,” said Nicole Price, BABES program manager. “This is a great opportunity for women to take inventory of their health and with that information, become empowered to focus on wellness.”

The HIV testing and follow-up counseling will take place in a private room, with the other screenings taking place in the YWCA’s multi-purpose room.

Many thanks to our health fair partners!
