NATIONAL HIV TESTING DAY Tuesday, June 27 June 27 is National HIV Testing Day, a

day to get the facts, get tested, and get in-

volved!

Nearly 1.2 million people in the United

States are living with HIV, and one in eight

people don't know they have it. Nearly

45,000 people find out they have HIV eve-

ry year.

HIV testing is the gateway to prevention

and care.

People who test negative have more prevention tools available today than

ever before.

People who test positive can take HIV medicines that can keep them

healthy for many years and greatly reduce their chance of passing HIV to

others. More than 90% of new HIV infections in the United States could be

prevented by testing and diagnosing people living with HIV and making

sure they receive early, ongoing treatment.

Find out more about what you can do at www.ihmatlanta.org.

“An evangelizing community gets involved by word and deed in people’s

daily lives; it bridges distances, it is willing to abase itself if necessary, and

it embraces human life, touching the suffering flesh of Christ in others...An

evangelizing community is also supportive, standing by people at every step

of the way, no matter how difficult or lengthy this may prove to be. It is

familiar with patient expectation and apostolic endurance. Evangelization

consists mostly of patience.”

- Pope Francis, The Joy of the Gospel

Eligible students will receive the Eucharist for the first time during regular Mass

times on the weekends of May 5-6 and May 12-13, 2018. Preparation will take place

throughout the school year, including the student’s first celebration of the Sacrament

of Penance (confession), which will take place at special penance services in Novem-

ber. In accordance with Archdiocesan guidelines, a student may be considered eligi-

ble to receive the Eucharist if he or she:

1. Is a baptized Catholic who attends Mass regularly

2. Is in the 2nd grade or older

3. Received religious education during the previous school year, either at a

Catholic school or in a parish program.

4. Is also enrolled in religious education for the current school year, either

at a Catholic school or a parish program.

27 de junio, Día Nacional de la Prueba de VIH , se estableció como una observancia

anual para promover la prueba del VIH.

Hágase la prueba de VIH La única manera de saber si usted tiene el VIH o no es realizándose la prueba.

Los CDC recomiendan que todas las personas entre las edades de 13 y 64 años se

hagan la prueba del VIH al menos una vez como parte de su rutina de cuidado

médico y que las personas con ciertos factores de riesgo se hagan la prueba con

mayor frecuencia. Cerca de 1 de cada 7 personas en los Estados Unidos que

tienen el VIH no sabe que lo tiene. Eso significa que estas personas no están

recibiendo la atención médica que necesitan para mantenerse saludables y evitar

transmitir el VIH a otras personas.

Los CDC han encontrado que más del 90 por ciento de las nuevas infecciones por

el VIH en los Estados Unidos podrían prevenirse con hacer pruebas de detección

y diagnosticar la infección en las personas que la tienen, y asegurarse de que

reciban atención médica y tratamiento pronto y de manera continua. La

vinculación temprana a la atención médica y la permanencia en ella es

fundamental para manejar el VIH y promover la salud entre todas las personas

que viven con esta infección. Los medicamentos para el VIH pueden mantener a

las personas que tienen el VIH saludables por muchos años, y ayudan en gran

medida a reducir el riesgo de que lo transmitan a sus parejas.
