The Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation
(SAAF) and National Community Health Partners are combining forces to bring
National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD) events to Tucson on February 7,
from 5:00–8:00 p.m. at the Donna R. Liggins Recreation Center, located at 2160
N. 6th Avenue.
This year’s events include a showing
of the movie “Ending Silence, Shame, and Stigma: HIV/AIDS in the
African-American Family,” which will be followed by a panel discussion.
Participants will also be offered free and confidential HIV and hepatitis C
testing.
This event is free and open to the
public, with catering provided by the local eatery Eegees. The theme for this
year’s NBHAAD event is “Our ancestors fought that we might be free—EVEN FROM
HIV!”
For more information about the
event, please contact Matthew B. Kearney, Health Education Specialist, at (520)
