As a board member of AIDS Foundation Houston I’ve seen firsthand how stigma around HIV/AIDS in Houston and throughout the nation keeps thousands from annual HIV tests and shames those who are infected. Please join me on December 1 at the 2014 World AIDS Day luncheon at the Westin Galleria as luncheon co-chairs, Dominique Sachse and David Chaumette, as well as honorary chair, Travis Torrence, lead Houston’s annual luncheon in remembrance of those we have lost and honoring those who continue working to end new infections. This year’s Shelby Hodge Vision Award recipient is The Honorable Rodney Ellis.
Did you know?
Southern states are now epicenter of HIV/AIDS in the U.S. In fact, fifty percent of all new HIV cases are in the South where stigma runs rampant and keeps those infected from seeking and staying in medical care.
