Berrien County has the third highest HIV infection rate in the state. And Community AIDS Resource and Education Services (CARES) Prevention Specialist Willie Mitchell says there is a disproportionate rate of infection among African Americans. So to commemorate Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, Prevention Specialist Willie Mitchell says CARES will be hosting Counseling/Testing/Referral sessions through March 16th at different locations in Benton Harbor.
Mitchell says there are a number of reasons why African Americans don't get tested.
Mitchell says the testing sessions are also part of the Test 1 Million campaign.
Mitchell will also be doing AIDS Awareness presentations Wednesday at Andrews University and on March 9th at the Benton Harbor Public Library.
