TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) -
Happening today, local

community.
It is part of National

throughout the Latino community. One in
four people living with HIV and AIDS in Pima County are Latinos.
Health experts say the
impact of HIV on Latino communities can be related to barriers faced by
poverty, migration and stigma.

Tucson are opening up a community conversation about HIV and AIDS education,
prevention and treatment.

AIDS Awareness Day Community Dinner and Conversation is taking place at the El
Casino Ballroom (437 E. 26th Street) from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. tonight.
