On October 4th, 2010 the Forsyth County

Detention Center became one of the first

county jails in the state to offer routine

opt-out HIV and syphilis testing at the

intake area of the jail. This was made

possible through a grant from the NC

Department of Health and Human Ser-

vices to the Forsyth County Department

of Public Health. The Health Depart-

ment is contracting with Correct Care

Solutions, Inc. to administer the testing

at the jail on a 24 hours, 7 days per week

basis. In addition, inmates volunteer to

attend HIV/STI Health Education Ses-

sions led by Patricia Donaldson of the

POSSE Team each week.
