M·A·C COSMETICS INSIEME AD ANLAIDS IN OCCASIONE DELLA GIORNATA MONDIALE CONTRO L’AIDS
PARTECIPAZIONE ALLA CAMPAGNA EASY TEST
Today, the infection is transmitted mainly through sexual intercourse large. These chances of infection are often not perceived as such and this is why people tend not to resort to testing. This attitude underlies the so-called "HIV underground", represented in Italy today by tens of thousands of people unaware of their HIV positive status and unaware responsible for most number of new infections. Once again we want to draw attention to the use of the test as a tool to know your status with the double purpose of limiting the expansion dell’epidemia e di sottoporsi alle terapie. Il 1° dicembre, in occasione della Giornata mondiale contro l’AIDS, i Volontari Mac presenzieranno l’ambulatorio mobile dove sarà offerto il test salivare (Easy Test), gratuitamente e con la più ampia garanzia di riservatezza. Nell’ambulatorio saranno costantemente presenti medici infettivologi, infermieri, tecnici e psicologi a garanzia della correttezza delle procedure e della piena aderenza alle norme vigenti per l’esecuzione del test, sotto la responsabilità delle Cliniche di Malattie Infettive dell’Azienda Ospedaliera “L. Sacco” e dell’IRCCS San Raffaele.
