Important note: Information in this article was accurate in 2005. The state of the art may have changed since the publication date.Women Alive, along with Minority AIDS Project & East Los Angeles Women's Center were honored at the Los Angeles City AIDS Coordinator's World AIDS Day Event for continued service to women living with HIV/AIDS in Los Angeles County. The City of Los Angeles AIDS Coordinator's Office conducted a series of events for World AIDS Day 2004, in conjunction with its twenty sister cities. The focus of this year's event was the UNAIDS Theme, Women, Girls, and HIV. The goal of the office was to produce a powerful video documenting the lives of women living with HIV/AIDS.
The video showed that the sister cities are joined together in the fight against HIV/AIDS, which does not discriminate by geography or culture. Women Alive staff, clients, and board members participated in the documentary and were able to put a face to the epidemic and create awareness among the African-American and Latina/o communities.
For further information on the video Women Alive: Living with HIV, please contact the Los Angeles City AIDS Coordinator's Office at 213.485.6334 or visit their website at www.lacityaids.org.
