Alliance Featured on NYN for HIV Testing Day

Alliance’s Director of community engagement and testing Arianne Watson spoke with NYN Media about our exciting partnership with the national Greater than AIDS partnership to provide more HIV tests.

Throughout the year, but especially during Pride Month, Alliance provides free rapid HIV tests at our offices across Manhattan and Alliance on the Move.

“It’s free at Alliance. It’s a simple finger prick. We provide pre and post-test counseling if any individuals come up positive and we can triage them to care,” said Arianne.

NY1 Features Alliance on the Move in honor of Recovery Month

On Thursday, September 30, 2021, Spectrum News NY1 was on hand to cover Alliance for Positive Change’s LGBTQ+ carnival and resource fair outside of CASA Washington Heights. Participants came together to celebrate LGBTQ+ pride, make arts and crafts projects, and access substance use support services, free COVID-19, HIV, and STI testing through our Alliance on the Move mobile van.

The event took place during the last day of National Recovery Month, but Alliance’s work continues every weekday at its six locations and its mobile unit Alliance on the Move every Monday through Thursday.
