Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. nationally dedicates December 1st each year to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and support those affected by HIV/AIDS. Our local chapter continues this commitment by hosting a special event focused on education, advocacy, and community support.

-
Increasing Community Understanding: Providing accurate and current information about HIV/AIDS prevention, transmission, and treatment.
-
Reducing Stigma: Fostering a supportive environment and encouraging open dialogue to eliminate the shame associated with the illness.
-
Emphasizing Disproportionate Impact: Highlighting the critical need for testing and education, particularly within communities disproportionately affected, such as Black women.
-
Advocacy and Support: Providing resources and commemorating those who have lost their lives to AIDS.
We encourage you to mark your calendars and join us as we work together to promote health, wellness, and global awareness right here in the Mid-Hudson Valley.
