Community Awareness

SFAN is committed to developing community resources to ensure ongoing quality health care for HIV/AIDS clients in Miami-Dade County. SFAN hosts regular community education sessions, support groups, health fairs and outreach initiatives.

The South Florida AIDS Network Annual World AIDS Day Luncheon and Health Fair are annual events for the community. Since 1988, December 1st has been designated as World AIDS Day, bringing messages of compassion, hope, solidarity, advocacy and understanding about HIV/AIDS to every country in the world. This annual observance brings healthcare and client service providers, advocacy groups and pharmaceutical industry professionals together with the persons who are infected and affected with HIV/AIDS. The event theme, “Many Hearts, One Beat,” serves to underscore our diversity and our unity in the battle against HIV/AIDS. SFAN's mission on this upcoming World AIDS Day will be to demonstrate that our strength is in our diversity. Because of this, we can fight discrimination, provide more care to more people and prevent this disease from taking more lives.

In 2004-2006, SFAN served as co-chair of the annual Miami-Dade National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness & Information Day NBHAAID, celebrated on February 7th each year. In 2007, we will assume the role again. NBHAAID is co-funded and sponsored by the Community Capacity Building Coalition (CCBC), a coalition of national organizations funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through the National Minority AIDS Initiative. CCBC provides capacity-building assistance to community-based organizations and stakeholders involved in HIV/AIDS, a coalition of local AIDS service organizations partner with community organizations and businesses to create awareness of HIV/AIDS and to encourage prevention.

SFAN plays a vital role in the organizing committee of the SIDA Ayer, Hoy, Manana Annual Conference (AIDS: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow). This conference is organized by leaders of the Hispanic community from the different agencies that provide services to people infected and affected with the HIV/AIDS epidemic in South Florida. The goal of SIDA Ayer, Hoy, Manana is to provide the Hispanic community with state-of-the-art information on HIV prevention, education and treatment, so that people infected and/or affected can make well-informed and healthier decisions. This is a yearly event.
