Chicago to mark Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day

Chicago Tribune - February 7, 2008


Several Chicago organizations are planning events Thursday to commemorate National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, which promotes HIV testing and education in the African-American community.

Near North Health Service Corp. will hold free HIV testing from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at two city health centers: Komed-Holman Health Center, 4259 S. Berkeley Ave., and Winfield-Moody Health Center, 1276 N. Clybourn Ave.

Walgreens will grant four high school students $1,000 awards for the Chicago Public Schools "Expression Against AIDS" art and literacy contest.
