Happy Anniversary Positive Youth Outreach: HIV Youth services

Last Thursday, September 16th, was Positive Youth Outreach as the AIDS Committee of Toronto. Being a graduate of PYO from my days of when I first came to Toronto, I thought it would be nice to get a few words from one of PYO's coordinators Angel Parks.

As of late there have been a couple studies coming up about rising rates of infection amongst younger gay men (but not let's forget there is a significant seroconversion rate with older gay men 37 and up - I'm not completely up on my epidemiological stats right at hand.

So here's a little video for the occasio.

Happy Anniversary PYO from someone who got old!

Scotiabank AIDS Walk Across Canada - Join the walk or sponsor

Thursday, 16 September 2010 Written by // What's Up Categories // Events, Events

The AIDS Walk fundraisers are around the corner for many cities. How do you find when it is in your city?

The season is upon us to each walk, sponsor or in some way support this pan-Canadian fund raising effort. Thanks to my bum feet barring getting a hold of an electric scooter to make it all theay, I won't be walking but certainly supporting some who will be. Hopefully I'll be able to get a PositiveLIte.com team together.

For those who do not know when and where your local walk is going on, go to the main Scotiabank AIDS Walk For Life website and you will get all the necessary details.

Have a great walk folks.
