Florida: AIDS Day Has Special Urgency
November 30, 2006 In observance of World AIDS Day on Friday, the Pinellas County Health Department and the city of St. Petersburg are sponsoring the World AIDS Day Wellness Fair at Williams Park in downtown. A variety of activities are planned, including free health screenings, flu shots and free food and entertainment. The event, said Lisa Cohen, HIV/AIDS coordinator for the health department, has grown larger each year. "What we're trying to do is raise awareness, trying to get the message out," especially to African Americans, a group with a disproportionately high rate of HIV/AIDS, said Cohen.
