Each December, World AIDS Day is an opportunity to bring communities together in the battle against the disease, to show support to those who live with HIV and to remember those who’ve died from AIDS-related illness. Since 1988, it has created awareness about, and focused attention on, the worldwide effort to fight the stigma associated with HIV.
The Pinellas Planning Partnership, a community effort that includes the Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County will celebrate World AIDS Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7, at the new Center for Health Equity, 2333 34th St. S., St. Petersburg. The event brings no-cost health screenings, giveaways, entertainment, speakers food. There will live radio coverage by The Beat 95.7-FM and its personality Queen B.
