The rate of HIV infection is still rising within the Asian & Pacific Islander community in the U.S. However, only two-thirds of Asians, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders have been tested for HIV—the lowest HIV testing rates among all races and ethnicities. Join APICHA and other organizations across the country in the fight against HIV by commemorating National API HIV/AIDS Awareness Day on May 19th. APICHA will be open on Saturday, May 19th - offering free HIV testing and STD screening. Come in, get tested, and make sure everyone you know and care about takes advantage of this important occasion.

Event Description: |
Witness real-life stories from Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders affected by HIV. Connecting friends, family, service providers and the community through storytelling. Join us for a screening of powerful digital stories, food, and performances commemorating the 8th annual National Asian & Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. About Taking Root: It's been said that it takes a thousand voices to tell a single story. "Taking Root" is grounded in the power of the individual story, but its territory extends beyond the individual. We are a multitude of voices: there is no singular Asian American or Pacific Islander experience, and the face of HIV is as diverse as the people affected by it. Through the connections forged by these individual experiences, we are able to tell a story about the ways we are affected by HIV. Together, these stories heal and it is through the telling and witnessing of them that we learn to overcome our silence and shame. As "Taking Root" grows, it will eventually include stories from AA and NHPI communities across the US and the six US-affiliated Pacific Island Jurisdictions. Digital storytelling is a form of short narrative told in the first person and enhanced by sound, video, and symbolic imagery. These are true stories from AAs and NHPIs recounting the ways in which HIV has affected and altered their lives. The stories were developed during an intensive 3-day workshop facilitated by Center for Digital Storytelling where participants were trained to produce their own story, from developing their own narrative and producing a voiceover, to using audiovisual and editing equipment to create the final video. "Taking Root" stories will be promoted at community events nationwide and online through our social networks and partners. Presented by The Banyan Tree Project and Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center In partnership with: 518 Valencia: The Eric Quezada Center for Culture & Politics • Asian American Recovery Services • Asian Pacific Islander American Health Forum • Center for Digital Storytelling • Community Health for Asian Americans • Gay Asian Pacific Alliance • Hui Tama Nui • Native American AIDS Project • Native American Health Center • The Oakland Asian Cultural Center • OLO: One Love Oceania • Pacific Health Club • San Francisco Department of Public Health • Trikone • WORLD: Women Organized to Respond to Life-Threatening Disease • UTOPIA |
