This year the campaign will run from Monday to Thursday, 13th to 16th April on the Tygerberg campus (outside the TSS) and on Stellenbosch Campus in the Neelsie VV Hall, 21st to 23rd April. More than 300 students and staff have already gone for HIV testing during the first 2 days of the First Things First campaign at the Tygerberg campus.
The campaign urges students and staff to come for a quick, free and confidential HIV test. We specifically encourage first years and students from the LGBTQI community to make use of this opportunity. Some clients will receive a 2GB USB armband depending on stock availability.
First Things First aims to encourage young South Africans, our future leaders, to be responsible, get tested for HIV and to empower themselves. The focus on first year students and the LGBTQI community emphasises the need to provide quality HIV testing to vulnerable individuals.
Contact Malan (pmwalt@sun.ac.za), our Key Populations Coordinator for more info or support if you are from the LGBTQI student community. Or contact Jaco (jgbrink@sun.ac.za; HIV Prevention & Research) for more info about this campaign and other available services.
