>> 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.
