The Directorate of Public Health Care (DAS/UFRN) carries out actions related to the Red December campaign, a month to raise awareness and combat AIDS. The program consists of conversation circles and rapid tests for HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B and C, as well as conversation circles in the DAS waiting room. Rapid testing takes place on December 9th and 12th, starting at 1pm, by prior appointment by calling 3342-2330 (Extension 371). Places are limited and aimed at the community in general, with priority given to the university community.
Rapid testing is permanent at UFRN, through the Health Counseling Program (PAS), which every month promotes care for the diagnosis of HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B and C. In 2019 alone, more than 1,700 tests were carried out and approximately 900 people were served by the month of November.
About Red December
In 2017, the law creating a national campaign to prevent HIV/AIDS and other Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), called Red December, came into force in Brazil. The month refers to World AIDS Day, December 1st, established in 1988 by the United Nations (UN) and the World Health Organization (WHO). In Brazil, the date was adopted the following year, as an intensifier of awareness and prevention actions for diseases caused by the HIV virus.
