Buffalo Women Get Tested

Several prominent black and Latina women in western New York State made a public showing of taking HIV tests yesterday during a church service in Buffalo, NY. The women, who included Buffalo Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples and County Legislator Betty Jean Grant, took oral swab tests in front of a congregation of about 700 in order to encourage minority communities to get tested.
