GEORGIA>AIDS, DPH to Appear at Popular Atlanta Events        
 
It is festival season in Georgia, and two of Atlanta's most popular events, the V-103.3 Annual Car & Bike Show and  Hot 107.9 Birthday Bash, are back on June 16 and GEORGIA>AIDS is planning to make a strong showing.

Greater Than AIDS will engage the crowds through interactive GEORGIA>AIDS booths in partnership with CBS Radio's V-103 and Radio One's Hot 107.9.  Members of the Deciding Moments cast will be on hand to talk about their personal experiences, fans can test their knowledge at the GEORGIA>AIDS spinning wheel or have their photos taken, and a team from the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) HIV Unit  will be on hand to answer any questions.

DPH has partnered with Greater Than AIDS since 2009 to extend the reach of HIV messages statewide. Through media campaigns and community outreach, GEORGIA>AIDS aims to elevate the public's knowledge and understanding of HIV/AIDS and confront the stigma surrounding the disease, in particular among Black Americans and other disproportionately affected groups.

People can enter to win a pair tickets to both events by getting tested for HIV at any of the below four locations by June 12.  There will also be a mobile testing van on site from 12 PM - 6 PM where people can get tested and enter to win a pair of tickets.
