This Wednesday, December 13, 2017, we will have a guest speaker; Alejandro Acosta
HIV Project Coordinator speaking on Equality Florida’s HIV Advocacy Project .
Florida leads the country in the rate of new HIV transmissions. Equality Florida’s HIV Advocacy Project is a new statewide initiative to curb the rate of new transmissions in our state. The HIV Advocacy Project was born from the need to address this important public health issue as it still disproportionately affects the LGBTQ community. The project consists of a statewide public education campaign to inform residents of the dangers of stigma, misinformation, and the current Florida outdated HIV-specific laws, which continue to serve as a disincentive for people to seek testing and treatment.
The Presentation will consist of:
An Interactive Opening Activity- HIV Myths/Facts
A Power Point- Description of Project
Q & A Session
