28th Annual AIDS Walk Announced
The 28th Annual
AIDS Walk for Life has been scheduled for Saturday, September 28 beginning at 9
a.m.
The 2.5 mile walks begins and ends on the Rhode Island State
House lawn.
The event will be emceed by
NBC 10 news anchor and Health Check 10 reporter Barbara Morse Silva and
co-chaired by Drs. Charles Carpenter and Philip Chan.
Hosted by AIDS Project Rhode Island, along with various partner agencies, the AIDS Walk for Life is the
area’s largest event dedicated to raising awareness for HIV prevention, testing, and care.
"One
out of five people living with HIV do not even know that they are
infected," said Thomas Bertrand, MPH, executive director of AIDS Project
Rhode Island.
The
goal at this year’s walk is to promote HIV testing among all Rhode Islanders
who may be at risk for HIV. “Prevention is the solution,” he said.
