Awareness Via Mobile Media

ALPHARETTA, Ga., June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The message about the importance of HIV testing is getting out to the general public, thanks to the innovative use of wireless communications. Verizon Wireless, the company with the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, announced today its continued effort to draw awareness to the importance of HIV testing and encourage everyone to know their status.
