Test 1 Million Ohio Press Conference

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Nearly half of the estimated 1.2 million Americans living with HIV/AIDS are Black.  54% of all new HIV infections are among Black Americans.  43% of the new cases among men, 65% of the new cases among infants, 67% of the new cases among women, and 70% of the new cases among teens in the U.S. are Black.  It is because of these alarming statistics, we will be hosting the Test 1 Million Ohio Press Conference in Columbus, Ohio.  The Test 1 Million Ohio Press Conference is apart of the Black AIDS Institute’s mobilization effort.   The Black AIDS Institute’s “Test 1 Million” Campaign is a call-to-action for 1 million Black Americans to get screened for HIV by June 27, 2010.  The goals of the Campaign are:

• Cut HIV rates in Black America by 50%
• Increase the number of Black Americans who know their status by 50%
• Increase the number of Black Americans in appropriate early care/treatment by 50%
• Reduce HIV/AIDS stigma in Black America by 50%

Phill Wilson, Founder and Executive Director of the Black AIDS Institute, will be coming to the state capitol to participate in the Test 1 Million Ohio Press Conference!  Along with Mr. Wilson, Senator Eric H. Kearney, Representative Sandra Williams, Marco S. Sommerville (Akron City Council President), and members of the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus will be present at the Press Conference.

At the Press Conference, each representative will take 2-3 minutes talking about the importance to re-awaken the concern for HIV and the fight against lethargy in the African American community.  After each statement, the respective participant will sign the call to action in front of the press.  This Press Conference will clearly disclose Ohio’s approach to end the AIDS epidemic to a variety of media outlets.  Immediately following the Press Conference, brief meetings will be held to establish a Statewide Strategy to ending the AIDS Epidemic. 

Time: 12:00p – 1:00p; 1:00p-2:30p strategy meetings

Location:

Vern Riffe Center for Government and the Arts

Studio Theater 1

77 South High Street

Columbus, Ohio 43215

Date: June 9^th, 2009

 “AIDS in America today is a Black disease.  Nobody wants to talk about that, and nobody wants to own that.  That silence is killing us,” said  Phill Wilson.  “That’s why we’re calling for 1 million Black Americans to get tested for HIV in the next year…”
