It’s that time of year again. Desert AIDS Walk 2020 may be virtual this year but it remains an exciting opportunity to carry on an important and life-affirming tradition for everyone who cares about ending HIV/AIDS and working toward healthcare access for all.
 
The reason for “The Walk” has never really been about balloon arches or walker T-shirts. It has always been about the collective power of community and our shared vision of a future where everyone has the patient-centered, comprehensive care they need to live their best lives. Thirty-four years of walking has ensured those living with HIV and AIDS continue to thrive.
 
We are applying the critical lessons from our past to current challenges, creating a roadmap to quickly open a COVID-19 Triage clinic that has provided testing and respiratory treatment to more than 3,000 residents since the pandemic began.
 
We are survivors; fear cannot rule us.
 
When crisis sets in, we step forward with hope.
