As part of Whitman-Walker’s 40th anniversary, officially January 13, 2018, we’re sharing 40 stories to help tell the narrative of the Whitman-Walker community.
This week we’re highlighting the AIDS Education Fund (AEF). In 1983, two years after the first reported cases of HIV/AIDS, Whitman-Walker created the AIDS Education Fund to respond to a community in crisis. To ease fears stemming from a lack of information on HIV/AIDS, Whitman-Walker and the AEF sponsored programs to educate and support both people living with AIDS and the larger DC community. Through public forums, hotlines, support groups, the buddy program, and advertising in The Washington Blade the AIDS Education Fund was a vital and multifaceted response to a community in need of information and support. Look through the following advertisements, courtesy of The Washington Blade, to see the AIDS Education Fund’s work to inform and engage the DC community on HIV/AIDS.
