People say 'Hey I'm going to watch the game, I'm having fun, why not get tested too?'&quot; The program, part of the UNAIDS &quot;Protect the Goal&quot; HIV/AIDS prevention program, provides rapid HIV testing and counseling, as well as free condoms and emergency retroviral drugs. It is also being offered in 11 other cities across Sao Paulo state where visiting World Cup teams are based.</p><br clear="all"/>
