DC: HIV tests, in the DMV, free and get paid for it too

Come get your driving license and while you wait, find out if your life is ruined.

D.C. DMV Office Offers Free HIV Test
At one Department of Motor Vehicles’ office in the nation’s capital, motorists can get a driver’s license, temporary tags and something wholly unrelated to the road: a free HIV test.

In a city with one of the highest percentages of residents living with HIV or AIDS, health officials have now test-driven the in-DMV testing and are finding that it works. So far, more than 5,000 people have been screened and gotten results while they wait.

Now officials are expanding the program, offering testing at an office where Washington residents register for food stamps, Medicaid and other government assistance. On Monday, the first day of the program, 60 people got tested, officials said. As an incentive they’re being offered a $5 gift card to a local grocery store.

...
What a hell hole socialized paradise.
