But they may have forgotten to test for other health concerns That's one reason why Cerro Gordo County Public Health hosted an HIV testing event Monday in Mason City. The clinic offered free and fast testing along with a 10 dollar gift card for Hy-Vee to everyone who came and got tested. HIV case numbers in Iowa have been steady over the past couple of years, with 98 new cases in Iowa in 2020 and 3,000 cases overall. "It's just about being proactive rather than reactive. You need to take responsibility for your health and that includes your sexual health. So I'm kind of hoping that it is an incentive like 'oh if I get my finger poked I get 10 bucks like if I go to get my shots as a kid I get a sucker," said Samantha Severson, Disease Prevention Specialist, Cerro Gordo Public Health.
