Earvin “Magic” Johnson has teamed with OraSure to kick off an HIV awareness campaign, sharing his story of knowing, and encouraging others to do the same. OraSure Technologies, Inc., maker of the OraQuick In-Home HIV Test kicked off the launch of a nationwide awareness campaign to encourage everyone to learn their HIV status. The campaign, “Make Knowing Your Thing Today” asks people across the country to share their story about their decision to test for HIV.
The OraQuick In-Home HIV Test is the first in-home rapid infectious disease test made available directly to consumers. Launched in October 2012, the test detects antibodies to both HIV-1 and HIV-2 with an oral swab, providing a confidential in-home testing option with results within 20 minutes. It is available at local drugstore and mass merchandiser retail stores and online at OraQuick.com.
