National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Statement on National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day

Statement from the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force on National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day:

"As we mark National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day 2014, we must redouble our efforts to―as this year's theme and action suggests―be our brother's and sister's keeper and get educated, get tested, get involved and get treated. We must reverse the alarming rates of infection currently found in LGBT communities of color and advance―on every level―an all out fight against HIV/AIDS. If everyone gets back in the fight, we can win this battle. We can end HIV/AIDS."

Statement attributed to: Rev Darlene Nipper, Deputy Executive Director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force


The Creating Change Conference 2014 held a special and plenary on HIV/AIDS entitled “Why We Can't Wait: Let's End AIDS Now,” according to a release.
