According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 94,495 people are living with HIV/AIDS in New York City, making it the epicenter of the HIV epidemic in the United States. Despite advancements made in the treatment and prevention of HIV, the CDC report that the overall rate of infection is rising.

AIDS Walk New York funds vital programs at GMHC, such as the Hotline, Women and Family Services, the Meals Program, Legal Services and Client Advocacy, among many others. In the wake of rising infection rates, GMHC faces an increased need for services. GMHC and the other AIDS service organizations rely on the funds we raise through this event to help them continue to meet the needs of families affected by HIV/AIDS.

Change the Course of the Epidemic. Register today and walk with our team on Sunday, May 21st!
