AIDS Project Worcester offers free - and anonymous - HIV testing Monday-Friday, 8:30 am-4:45 pm at the agency located at 85 Green St. Worcester. Knowing your HIV status is the first step in seeking medical intervention and gaining access to effective strategies to prevent the spread of HIV. Our goal is to make the process of counseling and testing a simple, easy, and supportive.
*No appointments are necessary for any HIV testing. ALL HIV testing is FREE.
Three types of tests are available:
Blood Testing (a traditional blood draw)
Oral Mucosal Testing (a swab placed in your mouth)
Ora Quick (Rapid Test) Testing ( finger stick with a preliminary result in 20 minutes). The Ora Quick is not offered on Fridays. Results for the blood and oral mucosal tests are usually back in 7 days. For more information, call 508.755.3773, ext 22 or email marilyn@aidsprojectworcester.org

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009Celebrate the healing power of the arts
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009On April 24, the Massachusetts Psychiatric Rehab Association (MassPra) will be hosting a “Day of Creativity” at VinFen in Sommerville. The event is free and open to the public.
The point of this day is for consumers, mental health professionals, and their allies (and these titles often overlap!) to come together and celebrate the healing power of the arts. All the information is below.
I will be co-facilitating a movement workshop (also noted below) during the day. I am not sure about the time, but I can promise you that if you are interested, I will let you know more. I can also promise you that my movement workshops have been deemed both “really fun” and “not boring” by the patients, children, and fellow grad students who have experienced them thus far.
I hope some of you can come, and if you can’t, that you will spread the word!!
Peace out,
Alexia
