AIDS program may close

United Press International - Saturday, December 19, 1998


MIAMI, Dec. 19 (UPI) -- The American Red Cross's HIV-AIDS program in south Florida is suffering from a lack of funds.

Officials say the program may have to close.

Last year, the Red Cross trained 48 volunteer instructors who reached out to 2,500 people in the area's black and Haitian communities.

The training ws made possible by a one-year grant, but no new funds have been found this year.
