AIDS Education Month planned for June

For the past 19 years, Philadelphia FIGHT has hosted AIDS Education Month, a series of events throughout Philadelphia to increase awareness of AIDS and to bring people together to find strategies to combat the virus. Over 10,000 individuals are directly reached by AEM every June.

FIGHT offers AIDS Education Month Community Presentations to the Philadelphia community June 1st-30th. Trained FIGHT staff and peer educators will bring an HIV presentation to local agencies, churches and community groups. Last year over 55 presentations reached almost 900 people.

This year the community presentations will focus on HIV Myths and Misunderstandings: Finding and Assessing Health Information.

Participants will learn the basics of HIV prevention, transmission, and treatment while learning how to find accurate HIV related health information on-line, including, how to tell reliable health information from myth.

Workshops are scheduled in two-hour blocks. If you are interested in signing up for a free community presentation for your organization or community, visit here.
