Everyone has a status – The church and HIV Testing

A popular HIV testing slogan is, “Everyone has a status, do you know yours?” On May 8, UCAN launches a series of national conversations on HIV and the first one will focus on HIV testing. With National Testing Day coming in June, (Wednesday, June 27), Rev. Mike Schuenemeyer, UCAN's Executive Director, will moderate this conversation about the importance of everyone knowing their HIV status and the status of the church in promoting and facilitating HIV testing.

Guest: Rev. John Ryan Mendoza
Rev. Mendoza is a member of the World Council of Churches - Ecumenical HIV AIDS Initiatives and Advocacy (EHAIA) and spearheaded the Clergy Testing Campaign with the National Council of Churches in the Philippines. The Clergy Testing Campaign has now gone global, is a great way to promote HIV testing and was part of the HIV testing at UCC’s General Synod meeting last year in Baltimore.
