Join us December 4th for Listen: Gay Men in Their Twenties Talk About Their Lives, Their Futures, and The HIV/AIDS Epidemic in DCThe Department of Health estimates that since 2001, young men who have sex with men ages 13-24 in the District of Columbia experienced a 900% increase of reported HIV infection compared to the previous five year period. Despite these increases, only half of all young adults under 25 are aware of their HIV status or have actively sought an HIV Test.
How can we best support young gay, bisexual, and transgender men who are HIV positive? How do we fight the secrecy and the stigma? How do we prevent new infections? Join us for a frank conversation with a panel of gay, bi, and trans men in their twenties as we tackle these important questions.
