Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Week Launches on December 1, 2011 in Ottawa

 

Gathering together December 1 – on World AIDS Day and the first day of Aboriginal AIDS Awareness week – Aboriginal communities will join in sharing knowledge, research, expertise and work currently underway in response to Aboriginal HIV and AIDS issues in Canada. The official launch will be followed by workshops across the country to continue discussions on Aboriginal HIV and AIDS issues Dec 2-5,2011.

This coming together of cultural, social, health and political events is a demonstration of the strength of our Aboriginal community. Practicing our core values of respect, honour, and non-judgment toward others is key to responding to HIV and AIDS in our communities – become informed and lead the change.
