Donut Stress, Just Test!
A Routine Screening Campaign to Promote HIV, Hepatitis C, and STI Screening
The Donut Stress, Just Test campaign is designed to raise awareness and promote the CDC recommendations for HIV, Hepatitis C (HCV), and STI screening. It has been recognized as a HRSA promising practice and was presented at the HRSA 2022 PCA Ending HIV Epidemic Virtual Summit as a non-funded EHE PCP. It was also a poster presenter at SYNC 2022, a national conference connecting dynamic healthcare and public health audiences to effectively address HIV, hepatitis C (HCV), sexually transmitted infections (STIs), LGBTQ+ health, harm reduction, and health equity. This campaign is for community health center patients and staff.
What's the Why?

HIV, STIs, and HIV disproportionately affect communities that receive care from community health centers
-
Community health centers provide services not always found in primary care settings
-
It can reduce barriers to linkage to ongoing care
-
It can provide additional opportunities for screenings
