SBI Health Education’s AIDS Coalition is pleased to invite you to our annual spring HIV awareness event at the UB! This year’s theme will be HIV and the Media: Fight the Stigma and the event will be held on Wednesday April 2nd from 12-3pm in the Student Union Theater.
We will screen the locally-produced short film, “AIDS: Dangerous Silence” and feature a panel discussion with community leaders in media and HIV research:
- Dr. Lance Rintamaki, an assistant professor of communications and health behavior at UB whose HIV research features how stigma affects access to healthcare for HIV-positive individuals
- Chris Voltz, Director of Marketing and Special Projects at AIDS Community Services
- Andrew Galarneau, a Buffalo News reporter who wrote a piece in December 2007 on HIV in Western New York today
Reception afterwards with FREE FOOD and FREE raffle giveaways, including tickets to Darien Lake!
GREAT for pre-health students: As a healthcare professional, how should you talk to with someone living with HIV? How has the media portrayed HIV in the past 25 years, how has it changed, and how SHOULD it be portrayed to address the urgency of the transmission rates without adding further stigma to the disease?
THIS EVENT IS FREE FOR STUDENTS AND FACULTY!
