LOS ANGELES, June 20 (UPI) -- Some of Hollywood's top black actors have volunteered to undergo public HIV tests in Los Angeles to raise awareness for National HIV Testing Day.

Among the many stars expected to be at the Screen Actors Guild headquarters for testing Monday are Jimmy Jean-Louis of "Heros," "Ray" star Regina King, Hill Harper of "CSI New York" and Tatyana Ali of the classic TV show "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."

The event is aimed at encouraging African-Americans to undergo tests of their own on National HIV Testing Day, which is next Wednesday, SAG said in a news release.

The Hollywood effort is part of a national commitment to end the AIDS epidemic among blacks in America by 2012, SAG said.
