Cynthia is one of East Valley's HIV Testing Counselors. She has worked at East Valley for 3 1/2 years. What she enjoys most about her job is being able to work with so many different types of people and having the ability to bring services out to the community through the mobile HIV testing unit. On the mobile unit, HIV Testing Counselors provide people with free oral HIV testing with results in 20 minutes. People love this because it's fast, free, and painless. They are also able to provide clients with referrals to the clinic and other vital resources.
She has been able to establish a rapport with clients and has subsequently been able to link them to HIV medical care, drug treatment programs, and housing resources. Being able to contribute positively to a persons life in my own small way, makes my job worthwhile.
