About HIV/AIDS in Birmingham
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 16,500 Alabamians are currently living with HIV.
While medical advances have made HIV manageable as a chronic disease, HIV rates in the South are still high and within epidemic proportions.
Because of this, AIDS Alabama’s prevention, transportation, mental health and housing services remain vital.
Each participating restaurant will donate up to 35% of every bill on April 27 to AIDS Alabama.
