Kentucky: AIDS Event Recalls Those Who've Died

December 4, 2008

About 100 people convened at the Muhammad Ali Center Monday night to mark World AIDS Day in Louisville. The event included music, speeches, and a candle-lighting ceremony to honor those lost to HIV. Dr. Adewale Troutman, director of the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness, delivered the mayor's World AIDS Day proclamation. "Each year that this comes up, I say, 'I hope we never have to have another one,'" Troutman said. Brenda Griffith said she will take what she learned at the gathering back to the youth group at her church. "Anybody and everybody can get it and spread it and not know it," she said.
