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.
