South Carolinians are getting the opportunity to get an HIV test, free of charge.
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation/Magic Johnson HIV Testing Van is stopping Tuesday at Allen University in Columbia.
The testing is sponsored by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and the South Carolina HIV/AIDS Council.
The stop in Columbia is part of a three-week, 14-city campaign. The tour kicked off earlier this month in Los Angeles. The final stop is Saturday in Washington, D.C.
Organizers are also presenting grants of $5,000 each to local partners at each stop.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the 14,000 AIDS cases in South Carolina represent 1.4 percent of all cases in the U.S.
