2023 Partner Portal

A model public-private partnership to support communities in ending HIV. Each June 27, National HIV Testing Day, KFF’s Greater Than HIV, a leading national public information campaign, and Walgreens bring health departments and community organizations into Walgreens stores to offer FREE HIV testing and distribute information. Local partners also provide PrEP referrals and link those in need to care.

More than 94,000 FREE rapid tests, including 15,000 HIV self tests, have been provided since 2011 as part of the Greater Than HIV/Walgreens partnership.

In 2024, the program expanded to offer free rapid testing for syphilis and hepatitis C testing along with HIV. The CDC and HIV.gov are supporting partners.
