March against AIDS

[NewsWhore]

Young people from 20 neighborhoods from around the city of Santo Domingo held a march calling for the prevention of AIDS. The event was organized by the health education charity Profamilia. The youngsters who took part in the walk participate in Profamilia's "Promoting Health in Dominican Republic," program where they help inform the public on topics regarding sexuality and AIDS prevention. The program looks to help inform the public about the ways in which the disease is transmitted and hope to help stop the spread of AIDS. This walk comes as the Dominican Network for People Living with AIDS (REDIVIH) says that hiding the results from AIDS tests requested by employers is illegal, and added that hiding those results only helps spread the disease because individuals can pass on the disease without knowing it.
