It’s a matter of knowing your status to get the appropriate care.” Individuals visited the Valentine’s Day event sites on St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John and were able to receive both HIV and COVID-19 free testing, and went home with Valentine’s Roses, Chocolates and other “playful gifts.” Methodist Training and Outreach collaborated with the testing event. “We hope to duplicate the success we experienced during today’s events at future holiday- themed testing events. Look out for similar happenings.” stated Henry. “Our goal is to make sure all Virgin Islanders have the opportunity to know their status so that both, the HIV epidemic and the COVID-19 pandemic can be ended as soon as possible.” # # #
