Lace up, San Diego! It’s time to walk for a
reason at the San Diego LGBT Community Center’s annual AIDS Walk & Run. Organizers revamped this year’s event so walkers, runners, volunteers and community members can participate safely. And, of course, be as enthusiastic as ever. You can register as an individual or as part of
a team, and raise money for The Center’s HIV services and prevention programs. Then, you can complete the AIDS Walk & Run San Diego route anytime between Monday, September 21 and Sunday, September 27. By doing it this way, you can walk or run on your own time, at your own pace, and with your own “socially- distant flair.” A virtual opening ceremony will be conducted online at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26. Participating in AIDS Walk & Run San Diego is
a way to remember our friends and neighbors and loved ones we’ve lost to HIV/AIDS, and to raise critically needed money to support services for those impacted by HIV today. This event also promotes HIV education.
Today, we have effective tools to combat HIV, and to prevent its spread. AIDS Walk & Run San Diego remains committed to supporting those efforts, including HIV testing on at least an annual basis; knowing your HIV status and that of your partner/s; utilizing condoms, PrEP and PEP; and staying connected to medical care and medication to get to/maintain undetect- able viral loads.
