***GET FREE RAPID (20 MIN.) HIV TESTING @ APICHA AND GET A $20 MOVIE THEATER GIFT CARD!!***

Whether or not you've had sex or think you're at risk for HIV, everyone should get tested! Knowing your status means knowing yourself. It means better, more honest relationships; better health; better sex! A better life!!

This PSA was created by APICHA (The Asian & Pacific Islander Coalition on HIV/AIDS) to show the ease in which someone can receive an HIV test. The narrator (played by East Grace Lee) walks us through the process step-by-step, demystifying the rapid HIV test.

HIV is silently devastating the API community, especially its young gay men: API young men who have sex with men (aged 13-24) have experienced the largest proportionate increase [255.6% (EAPC = 30.8)] in HIV infections between 2001-2006 (from the MMWR Weekly Report: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrh...

Please support our effort to reduce the epidemic already ravaging our community!

APICHA, a non-profit organization, was founded in 1989 in response to the AIDS epidemic in New York City. The mission of APICHA is to combat HIV/AIDS stigma and related discrimination, to prevent the spread of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Asian & Pacific Islander communities, and to provide care and treatment for Asian & Pacific Islanders living with HIV/AIDS and their families.

The mission of the YMSM (Young Men who have Sex with Men) Project is to combat AIDS-related discrimination, and to support, empower, and enhance the quality of life of Asian & Pacific Islander YMSM in New York City, New Jersey, and Long Island. Through education, training, community outreach, coalition-building, and research, we promote and uphold the ideals of sexuality and sexual health and the acceptance of API YMSM. We offer further assistance to young queer and questioning youth through EquAsian, our social and support youth-led group.


Our PSA was created by the amazingly talented Kanokon Sookaram (http://www.youtube.com/user/Kanokon).

  • good video! I don't agree with some people said the gov will log you into permanent record if the result come out positive or everyone will scare of you while seeing you or banned from joining the military.

    I think everyone should get tested, knowing whether you are positive or negative is a lot more important. so in that way you can PROTECT yourself and others.

  • all the guys in this video are faggots

  • hmzi am soo lonelyy any one up for some chatting with a cute girl

  • How about your privacy? Why don't try the Some Day Mobile HIV Testing? Your privacy are carefully protected. They come to the place that you choose!

  • i'm sure they can punch you in the face. it'll help them vent their own frustrations in life haha

    and i bet if you ask them to do it again, they won't hesitate to take a second sample to make sure the results come out accurate

  • Omg my bff in the word,Jazmine,Kayla,Minney,Klar­ima,Jude,Matt,Dj,Mora,and Leidaniele,they All had shots.....but theyre not All my friends...I have more but these friends are the ones that got the HIV test.I saw Matts and his bubbled up!I felt sick when his mom said we should eat at ~In-n-Out~ (Good Food!)

  • every one should get tested bcze if u have not devoloped the third stage which is aids u can live a good life

  • man i got hiv test from this methof infront of m guy took my blood through injection and i dont know he put it in a machine which centrifuged it n he used a drop of my blod for test the hiv shit man its lyk very bad experience god the time which u have 2 wait for the result is very dreadfull

  • Everyone should know their status on HIV

    * Yes Insurance may drop you, but you can fight it. As for rates to go up, they will..? why because an infected person gives insurance companies bad profits.

    * Why go to the military, just go to school.

    *there is such a thing as free confidential testing

    * I would like to show my regards to those living HIV+, you are truely strong individuals.

    -jf1gd2, do us all a favor and abstain yourself from sexual contact for the remainding period of your life.

  • It is nice to get an HIV test. It is also important as medicines prolong your live. You can live at least 25 years with the virus.
