Sponsored by the Kaiser Family Foundation, the Atlanta Greater Than Aids chapter recently held an event focused on confronting stigmas surrounding HIV in our city. The event included narratives of HIV positive Atlantans and emphasized the support that they need from friends, family, and community, as well as the importance of prevention and early testing. Nationally, Atlanta ranks as one of highest in terms of new HIV diagnosis, and first in first time diagnosis indicating full clinical AIDS. This means that people do not have access to the basic resources and testing needed. The campaign concluded with a concert at the Rialto with some of the south's top gospel performers.
