There are some really creepy HIV ads
It is soon to be AIDS walk time and as always I am participating. Usually I just volunteer and let raising money to fall to the side but I'd really like to at least fundraise $100 small-donations-Obama-style.
If you have an extra $5-10-whatever laying around please consider donating here: http://www.aidswalkatlanta.com/stasha by clicking "Support Me!"
It is tax deductible and the proceeds go towards AID Atlanta who provide:
- Intensive case management and social services in addition to access and referrals to medical
care, medication and counseling, insurance assistance; housing mental health/substance abuse
services; rental, mortgage & utility assistance; clothing, transportation assistance; peer
counseling; family support; vocational rehab; food; support groups; clinical trials; and legal
assistance.
- Expanded access for women and children via collaborative inter-agency partnerships.
- Primary healthcare for eligible HIV positive clients.
- Discharge planning and post-release case management for HIV positive inmates is provided at
the Atlanta City Jail and Detention Center, Fulton County Jail, and DeKalb County Jail.
- The Testing and Counseling Program of AID Atlanta conducted over 4,000 HIV tests in 2007,
with a positive result rate of 3-4%, demonstrating the ability to reach those most in need of
services. All HIV tests are conducted using OraQuick Advance, allowing almost immediate
delivery of test results and all newly diagnosed positive clients are provided information and
referrals for obtaining appropriate care and assistance to begin understanding and managing their
illness.
Thank you. ^__^
