David Bromstad Unveils Mural For HIV Testing Initiative 

In recognition of next week's National Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, designer and artist David Bromstad unveiled a mural he created to bring to life the importance of HIV testing. The "Know Yourself: Get HIV Tested" event, held Tuesday in New York, was sponsored by Janssen Therapeutics.

Speaking about the project to The Advocate in July, Bromstad said, "I want people to be encouraged and know that getting tested is just something they need to do to maintain their health. It's like brushing your teeth -- not doing it shouldn't be an option."

Bromstad said the initiative was a great opportunity to communicate the importance of getting tested in the way he knows best -- through creative means.
