WIHAN Observes Various National HIV/AIDS Awareness Days

On February 27th WIHAN partnered with the HIV/AIDS Resource Center (HARC) and Brown Chapel AME of Ypsilanti to host an awareness event to observe National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness day. The event promoted HIV/AIDS education, ways for the local community to get involved, and prevention of HIV/AIDS. HARC provided HIV testing for those who were interested.

For National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness day (March 10th), several members of WIHAN "Rocked the Red pump" on their facebook pages to bring awareness to HIV/AIDS affecting/infecting women and girls across the United States. For more information about the Red Pump campaign please visit www.redpumpproject.org

If you are interested in getting involved in any of the upcoming HIV/AIDS awareness days such as National Testing day (June 27th) or would like more information about HIV/AIDS related events in the Washtenaw County area please contact Sheyonna Watson via email at swatson@hivaidsresource.org

The Washtenaw Interfaith HIV AIDS Network (WIHAN) is a coalition of religious organizations across the county to stop the spread of HIV, increase education about HIV and help those living with HIV locally. People and congregations of all religions are welcome.

An estimated 5,000 in Michigan are HIV-positive and do not know it! This is why testing is so important. Some churches in Washtenaw County allow health officials to conduct free HIV testing in their churches. Will you make your house of worship one of them? Contact WIHAN today!
