HIV Testing and Education Is Hitting The Streets
of San Francisco In A Whole New Way
STOP AIDS Project's 30-Foot-Long Mobile Testing RV Will
Appear at Some of the Hottest Spots in Town.

spots for gay, bisexual and transgender men.

The Mobile Testing RV contains a private room for
HIV counseling and testing as well as a large semi-private "get warm / chill-out" room
for conversations, information and referrals. The RV is equipped with
outdoor speakers and lights.

STOP AIDS Project is holding a community open house
with the RV at the Castro Street Fair on Sunday, October 1. The RV
will appear in many locations throughout the city such as Ruby Skye,
Aunt Charlie's, The Café, and the Eagle.

"On your way into the club or your favorite hook-up
spot, the mobile testing van will be a great place to stop by to pick
up condoms, ask questions, get materials, meet other guys, and get
tested," said Robert McMullin, Executive Director of the STOP
AIDS Project. "The RV will help us to connect with guys in environments
that are fun and familiar to them."

The STOP AIDS Project was able to purchase the RV from generous donation
by Gilead, Folsom Street Events, Merck, and the Bothin Foundation.
The STOP AIDS Project is a community of gay, bisexual and transgender
men preventing HIV and promoting health together.
