Low HIV testing rates among Asian and Pacific Islanders has meant a further progression of the disease at diagnosis. HIV treatment has improved vastly in terms of health outcomes in recent years but it's important to detect and treat early. 

Unfortunately language, cultural barriers, and fears over immigration status have contributed to an underutilization of testing and other preventative services among Asians and Pacific Islanders. 

In NYC, APICHA Community Health Center provides Free and Confidential HIV Testing and Counseling in Japanese & Mandarin as well as English and Spanish. APICHA has a strong record of providing culturally competent health services to the Asian and Pacific Islander their families of any race and the wider LGBT community.   To Schedule an HIV test: 1.866.274.2429 APICHA Community Health Center  400 Broadway (Entrance on 70 Walker Street) New York, NY 10013 Directions: http://bit.ly/1lGsYhY Web: http://bit.ly/1r68Xp4 Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1iywZ4y Twitter: http://bit.ly/QeWUaJ Foursquare: http://4sq.com/NA6C5P
