23: Everyone Has A Status

With a tiny fingertip poke, Bruce Morris is tested for HIV live on the air, joined by Jessica Terpstra, Regional Coordinator of HIV Early Prevention Services for Central Oregon. Taking an HIV test is fast, easy, free and confidential. Treatment is readily available to guide an individual to viral suppression, and this support is the best way to keep communities safe and healthy. Undetectable equals untransmittable; now, there is hope for living with HIV.
