New York, NY, Nov. 29, 2017 -- What: With the participation patients, volunteers and celebrities, Betances Health Center has created a theatrical production to commemorate World Aids Day in New York. Patients will play the protagonists alongside a wide selection of professionals that have collaborated with this Center. “Celebrating Life” tells four real stories about the dilemmas faced by women and men living with HIV. They deal with decisions about pregnancy, the use of the popular app Grindr and its consequences, the world of Crystal Meth, and the hostility towards and exclusion of the transgender community.

Why: On June 29, 2014, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo detailed a three-point plan to move us closer to the end of the AIDS epidemic in New York State. The goal is to reduce the number of new HIV infections to just 750 (from an estimated 3,000) by 2020 and achieve the first ever decrease in HIV prevalence in New York State. While there have been many successes in the treatment of HIV and AIDS over the last 28 years since the first commemoration of World AIDS Day, many challenges remain, especially for racial and ethnic groups and gay or bisexual men who are more greatly affected and must overcome stigma. A primary goal of Betances Health Center is to improve the quality of life of people living with HIV or AIDS from these diverse groups by reducing the stigma and discrimination they face. Through art, patients with HIV will help others understand the problem.
