Pennsylvania: Forum to Focus on HIV Epidemic Among Black Americans

From U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

August 23, 2002

Black Americans, who represent only 13 percent of the US population, make up more than half of all new HIV infections. Pittsburgh's Warhol Museum will be the setting for a daylong forum Saturday using the arts to generate discussion of HIV and the black community. The forum is coordinated by museum officials and the Partnership for Minority HIV/AIDS Prevention, which offers education and prevention workshops. Activities will include a food drive; a roundtable discussion of HIV's global impact, focusing on Cuba and Malawi; a screening of "The Visit," about a prisoner dying of AIDS; a keynote speech by Philadelphia physician Helena KwaKwa; and a performance by the Sun Ra Arkestra.
