Allan Spear Forum on Wednesday, September 9

What Is HIV Prevention? Does it Even Work?
What do YOU Think?

B.R. Simon Rosser, Ph.D., M.P.H., L.P.
Wednesday, September 9 at 7pm
At the Minnesota AIDS Project
1400 Park Avenue

25 years following the news that this deadly virus was rapidly spreading around the world, we have seen a number of HIV prevention programs come and go. Governments have supported, or not supported, these efforts. Some have blamed those who have become infected as being “careless” and “reckless” – even worse. Others have questioned why we educate people about HIV risk.

Hear from an expert about if these programs are making a difference – and importantly what steps you and others can take so that HIV can be stopped.

Bring your questions, concerns, comments and ideas to this groundbreaking forum.

Guest Speaker will be B.R. Simon Rosser, PhD., M.P.H., L.P.
