Community Members Discuss HIV/AIDS and Younger Gay Men

Community members gathered at the HRC Equality Center last Thursday for: Listen, Gay Men in Their Twenties Talk About Their Lives, Their Futures, and the HIV/AIDS Epidemic in DC. The event was co-sponsored by The DC Center, The DC Crystal Meth Working Group, and SMYAL. It was a great opportunity to have a frank conversation about the HIV/AIDS epidemic in DC.

In 2009, we plan to establish an HIV/AIDS Working Group at The DC Center modelled after the DC Crystal Meth Working Group, to continue to work on this very important issue.

In the meantime, here are some ways you can stay involved:

• Visit the Fight HIV in DC Website (www.fighthivindc.org) or join the yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fighthivindc) for regular updates on HIV in DC
  
  
• Show your support by joining the Fight HIV in DC groups on Facebook (click here) or MySpace (click here).
  
  
• Join us February 11th at Be Bar for our first-ever Fight HIV in DC Benefit Event. 10% of the proceeds from the night will benefit our HIV/AIDS outreach, education, and advocacy efforts. For more information about this event click here.
  
  
• Consider volunteering for Figh HIV in DC by blogging or coming into our office at The DC Center once a week to voluneer
