Drivers: HIV test while-U-wait?

District residents are getting free HIV tests at an unlikely place: their local DMV.

At the Department of Motor Vehicles’ Penn Branch office in Southeast, more than 5,000 people have been screened and received results while they wait. The testing is part of a seperate health program that seeks to identify those living with HIV in order to get them early treatment and prevent the spread of the virus. The District has one of the highest percentages of cities nationwide of residents living with HIV or AIDS.
