Hartford’s World AIDS Day Event

Hartford’s World AIDS Day event will take place on December 1st, 11 AM - 12, at the Connections Drop-in Center, located at the Institute for Community Research, 146 Wyllys St, Hartford.

Hartford City Councilman Luis Cotto, will be the keynote speaker, with Connecticut’s Health Advocate, Kevin Lembo following Councilman Cottoand ending with two people living with HIV/AIDS.

At 1 PM, there will be a showing of the video “Love in a Time of HIV” one-hour documentary that takes a walk in the shoes of several people around the world living with the disease and how it impacts their relationships. “Love in a Time of HIV” reaffirms that the scourge is alive and well, but that people can maintain day-to-day normalcy with friends and family and even find love. Although there is still no cure, recent drug breakthroughs have extended the lives of many and a diagnosis is no longer necessarily a death sentence. Even in the face of the illness and an early demise, love can prevail.
