AIDS Watch Ohio 2011 will bring together consumers, professionals, and policy makers from around the state to discuss the issues that are important to Ohio’s HIV/AIDS community. Modeled after the national AIDS Watch program produced by the National Association of People With AIDS (NAPWA), AIDS Watch Ohio is a statewide advocacy effort offering a unique opportunity for people to visit with elected officials in Columbus. OAC believes that Ohio’s elected officials must hear from people living with HIV/AIDS and their allies about the importance of local, state and federal funding for HIV/AIDS services.
