HIV/AIDS is plaguing the African American community at an alarming rate. As such, the Greater Atlanta Millennium Section (GAMS) has made educating the metropolitan Atlanta community about this disease one of our key signature community-services. GAMS offers trained and certified HIV/AIDS instructors to conduct workshops in communities throughout metro-Atlanta. In addition, GAMS provides to the metro-Atlanta community the annual National HIV Testing Day.
If you are interested in GAMS' HIV/AIDS education and outreach opportunities, or you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution please contact the Bethune Program Team at bethuneprograms@ncnwgams.org with Bethune Program Team HIV/AIDS in the subject line.
