Patience, Jean and I wanted to pass on an invite to join us on February 7
for African, Caribbean and Black Canadian HIV/AIDS Awareness Day on
February 7, 2020!


This year's theme is Stigma Creates Barriers! All of us can play a role in
stopping HIV stigma and racism, and lift the barriers this creates when it
comes to HIV. Stigma and racism make it hard to talk openly about HIV and
our health, and without being able to have these conversations, we can miss
out on the ways that community, peer support, medications to treat and
prevent HIV, and information about sexual health can make a difference. *Join
us for this HIV awareness event and help us stop stigma and end prejudice
towards those of us living with HIV. *This free event is open to all people
interested in learning more about HIV!


We will have food, activities, music, and performances that help celebrate
African, Black and Caribbean cultures!


We will have transit tickets available at the event. If there are other
ways we can make this event accessible for you, please let us know! If you
have any questions leading up to the event, please email Jean @
jean.acpnet at gmail.com or Sarah @ sarahc at youthco.org.


Youth living with HIV and their invited friends, families, partners, and
allies are welcome to join YouthCO on February 8 for a celebration of self-
and community- care, called Love Positive Youth

*We would appreciate it if you could help us get the word out about this
exciting event.*
