D.A.P. routinely provides free and confidential HIV testing five days a week, including Saturdays, at locations selected for their access to high-risk populations. Free testing is also conducted at community events. Results are available within 20 minutes and HIV-infected individuals receive an immediate linkage to coordinated care and services by way of our Early Intervention Services team. We conduct over 2,000 free HIV tests annually. D.A.P. also prominently participates in advocacy efforts throughout the Southern California region to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and conducts educational marketing campaigns throughout the year through tools including print, radio, television, internet and social media. During the current fiscal year, D.A.P. led the development of a public/private collaboration with Desert Regional Medical Center as the lead sponsor called Get Tested Coachella Valley. Get Tested Coachella Valley is a region-wide public health campaign dedicated to dramatically reducing HIV by making HIV testing standard and routine medical practice and ensuring linkage to care. If everyone in the Coachella Valley gets tested and if everyone who tests positive receives treatment we can launch the beginning of the end for the spread of HIV in our community.
