Timeline
APRIL
It’s time to plan your event! Who is going to staff your event? What roles will they have? Do you need volunteers? What supplies will you need, including HIV tests and auxiliary testing materials? When you begin planning early, you will be more prepared come June!
- 4/24 – Webinar #1: Kick-off! (11am-12pm PT / 1-2pm CT / 2-3pm ET) for important information about the activation, key dates and more. Register here. A recording of the webinar and slides will be made available.
- 4/26 – Deadline to request donated tests for your event. In early April, request forms will be emailed directly to primary contacts at each organization. Click here to review what you can expect from this free test offering.
Friendly reminder! Make sure your organization has submitted your Limited Use License Agreement(s) (LULA) for each testing location and Certificate of Insurance (COI) in the Walgreens portal. If your organization would like to also provide free rapid syphilis and / or hepatitis C testing, an additional LULA is required. Questions? Please email HIVInfo@walgreens.com.
