Know Your Status: The First Step Towards Health and Empowerment

May 2, 2025 BY imani leave a comment

At Minority AIDS Support Services (MASS), we believe that knowledge is power. And when it comes to your health, one of the most powerful choices you can make is getting tested for HIV and other STIs.

It is necessary we take stock of where we are in life, and knowing your status is a foundational step, as it is important to protect yourself and the people you care about.

For too many in our community, HIV and STI testing is clouded by fear, stigma, and misinformation. But the truth is, getting tested is simple, quick, confidential and most importantly, empowering.

We provide free testing services in a safe, supportive environment. Our team is here to walk with you through every step.

Why does it matter? Because HIV and other STIs often have no symptoms at first. You can feel completely fine and still have an infection that could affect your health or be transmitted to someone else. Regular testing allows you to take control, start treatment if needed, and stop the spread in our communities.

Getting tested is an act of love for yourself, your partners, and your future. We are here to support you with accessible, judgment-free care.

Visit our testing center or community events to get tested and take the first step toward health and empowerment.
