Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Week Launches on December 1, 2012 in Winnipeg

Gathering together December 1 – on World AIDS Day and the first day of Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Week – Aboriginal communities will come together to focus on how Aboriginal people can work together to reach the goal of: Getting to Zero. Zero new HIV infections. Zero discrimination. Zero AIDS related deaths.  

The official launch will be followed by workshops across the country (Halifax, Regina, Toronto, Iqaluit, and Victoria) to continue discussions on Aboriginal HIV and AIDS issues in Canada Dec 2-6, 2012.

A convergence of cultural, social, health, and political events during Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Week is creating a climate for important positive developments on the HIV/AIDS agenda. Join us on our journey to zero.
