We get questions all the time about herpes and testing. We are unable to provide herpes testing, but a primary care provider or urgent care clinic is usually able to test if someone is having an outbreak. Read below for more information about herpes and how to stay safe

We know it’s like when we post over and over about the importance of HIV testing, but we are passionate about helping our clients and passionate about ending this epidemic. At last count, there are 15,100 people living with HIV in Indiana. HIV can be untransmittable if individuals are diagnosed and receive ongoing Antiretroviral Treatment (ART). Completely eliminating the transmission of HIV? That’s huge! IU Health Positive Link is here to help individuals with prevention, testing, linkage to treatment and case management services. We have locations across the state and we are always ready to help. Help end this epidemic by sharing our posts and spreading the word.

More about the exhibition:

The NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt is the world’s largest community art project, created in 1985 to honor and remember the lives lost to HIV and AIDS. Each panel represents loved ones whose stories
continue to inspire hope, compassion, and action.

Each panel represents one person, sewn by friends, loved ones, or family to keep their memory alive. When it was first displayed on the National Mall in 1987, it began a tradition of remembrance that has now grown to include tens of thousands of names, including some close to home.

In April 1994, Terre Haute hosted a section of the Quilt at the Hulman Center. Now, over thirty years later, we are bringing part of the Quilt back home to Terre Haute, to once again honor those we’ve lost, celebrate those still fighting, and remind us all of the power of love and resilience.

Our exhibit includes one block/8 panels of the original quilt. Among the panels is one dedicated to Harold Finke, the original owner of R Place, a beloved sanctuary for LGBTQ+ individuals in Terre Haute. Harold’s panel, created in 1992 after his passing due to AIDS-related complications, stands as a tribute to his life and the people who loved him.

The Quilt display is a powerful opportunity for our community to reflect on lives lost, honor local history, and educate residents on HIV prevention and awareness. We look forward to having you join us!
