On Friday, September 11,  AIDS Project Worcester hosted a second group of students from UMass Medical School to teach them how to use the  Ora Quick Advanced Testing kit.  Marilyn Rodriguez, HIV Counseling and Testing Coordinator at the agency, said this is the third year the agency has reached out to the medical school students so they can add HIV counseling and testing skills to services they will offer at free clinics in the area. “The number of medical student who come to this seminar has tripled in the past three years,” said Marilyn. “I couldn’t be happier with the students’ enthusiasm, engergy, and commitment.” More than 50 medical students came to the agency in August and September to attend this free training. Marilyn pointed out that AIDS Project Worcester will also supply the clinics with the Ora Quick testing kit - free of charge - and will supervise the students. ”We also offer anonymous and free testing here at the agency five days a week,” explains Marilyn. “It’s all about stopping the spread of HIV/AIDS. Get tested. Know your status. Get support.”  If you have questions email Marilyn at marilyn@aidsprojectworcester.org
