Florida: Class Will Dispel Myths and Educate Citizens

From U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

July 1, 2009

A free workshop will be held July 11 at Dayspring Missionary Baptist Church, 1945 NE 8th Ave., for individuals and organizations interested in combating HIV/AIDS in Gainesville's African-American community.

Teresa White, regional minority AIDS coordinator for the Alachua County Health Department, said people often ask her what they can do to get involved. "The purpose of the workshop is to recruit people who want to join the fight, and I am going to be talking about what we have done," she said.

The session will also serve to educate people about HIV/AIDS and dispel myths. "People are still asking a lot of questions about the disease, and we want to educate more than enough people about the facts," White said.
