HIV/AIDS - and International AIDS Day

The walk began at the Nine Circles Centre on Broadway and Maryland and went to the legislature. There we gathered to focus attention on International AIDS Day, and the need for more attention to HIV/AIDS in Mantioba. During the last five years the incidence of AIDS in Manitoba has increased by more than 50%. Clearly we are not doing enough to prevent AIDS in Manitoba. The result is tragic. Already this year, there have been more than 100 Manitobans newly diagnosed with AIDS. It is past time to focus more efforts on awareness and prevention in those areas which can make a difference.
