Free HIV Testing in Lake County


June 26, 2014 | WMFE, Orlando -- The health department in Lake County is offering free HIV testing Friday.

Diana Cheeser of the health department says the disease still is prevalent today, but for patients it's much easier to manage than it was in the 1980s.

"They live long productive lives, and actually they're saying now HIV is more of a chronic disease because it can be managed, than a death sentence the way it used to be."

The event coincides with National HIV Testing Day.

It's at the Umatilla Health Center from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m.
