National Women’s and Girls HIV Awareness Day
April 5, 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Join an evening of conversation and celebration for women and girls impacted by HIV, especially women of color. Since the beginning of the US HIV epidemic, women—both cisgender and transgender–have been living with the virus, working to improve the lives of people with HIV, and acting up to stop the US epidemic. Their stories and herstory are rich and often untold.
