st
December 1 is World AIDS Day, a day to unite with others
around the world to prevent HIV, support people with HIV, and
remember those who have lost their lives to an HIV-related
illness.
As such, the Plainview - Hale County Health Department
would like to remind everyone that HIV testing services are
available at the Health Department.
Anyone needing a test is encouraged to schedule an appointment; however, walk-in appointments
during normal business hours are available.
According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, there were 243 female and 1,012 men
living with HIV in the Panhandle (top of Texas to Midland/Odessa) in 2019 (most recent year available).
While World AIDS Day is observed around the world, it’s important to remember those in our area who
are also suffering from the disease.
