On the occasion of World AIDS Day on December 1st, Aids-Hilfe Frankfurt has organized a memorial event in the Stadthaus Frankfurt, as well as a funeral march to the AIDS Memorial. The event is expected to be attended by Mayor Mike Josef and social affairs officer Elke Voitl.
The Frankfurt Aids Help Center’s message on this year’s World AIDS Day highlights the importance of recognizing AIDS as more than just an infectious disease, stating that it is also a metaphor for the treatment of social minorities. The center’s work has evolved to become a “queer” organization, providing a crucial point of contact for gender and sexual minorities seeking support and information.
Aids-Hilfe Frankfurt is aiming to bid farewell to AIDS this year, emphasizing the importance of HIV testing and prevention. The organization continues to provide free HIV tests and outreach social work, particularly for marginalized groups such as illegal sex workers in Frankfurt.
Mayor Mike Josef has officially declared Frankfurt as a fast-track city in the global initiative to combat HIV, promising to achieve the 95-95-95 goals by 2030. The city’s Health Department has also joined this commitment, aiming to support HIV-positive individuals and reduce discrimination and exclusion.
In recognition of World AIDS Day, the health department is offering free HIV tests in the examination and advice center for sexual and reproductive health on December 1st. Additionally, Aids-Hilfe Frankfurt is organizing a memorial event and a funeral march to the AIDS Memorial, accompanied by music and a live broadcast on Frankfurt city radio.
The association is also offering solidarity bears for sale, with proceeds contributing to their ongoing efforts in combating HIV. Aids-Hilfe Frankfurt continues to be a strong partner in the city’s efforts to reduce the impact of HIV and support those affected by the disease.
As the world observes World AIDS Day on December 1st, Aids-Hilfe Frankfurt is leading the charge in the fight against HIV, offering support, information, and testing to the community. The organization’s dedication and the city’s commitment to the Fast-Track Cities Initiative are crucial steps in ending the HIV epidemic and supporting those affected by the disease.]
