Kate Shindle, Miss America of 1998, will be in Bedford-Stuyvesant next Tuesday, urging people to get tested for HIV/AIDS.
"Ninety percent of my job as Miss America was advocating on behalf of AIDS issues," Shindle said in a statement issued by Housing Works, the agency sponsoring her visit.
Shindle, who's now starring in the Broadway musical "Legally Blonde," is to take an HIV test herself to show how simple the procedure is. She's scheduled to visit the mobile unit from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. It will be parked on the corner of Fulton St. and Nostrand Ave. from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. next Tuesday, offering free tests and counseling.read more
