Selma AIR, Inc. has partnered with the Organpi Farmhouse Café to host a conversation about HIV and its impact on African-American women in recognition of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day on Feb. 7 from 5:30 pm until 7:30 pm.

“This event will serve to bring together women from all walks of life to discuss the impact of HIV on African-American women and our families,” said Selma AIR Executive Director Mel Prince.  “We carefully chose a more intimate venue where participants would not only feel at home but also be able to enjoy some of the more social aspects of the gathering.”

The two-hour event will feature a presentation of HIV facts and statistics as well as an opportunity for participants to talk about the current trends.

Strategies and resources to prevent the transmission of HIV will also be offered.  There is no charge to participate.

Dr. Portia Fulford, owner of the Organpi Farmhouse Café said, “We are delighted to partner with Selma AIR to introduce such a powerful way of women learning and sharing with one another.”

The Organpi Farmhouse Café is located at 1010 Water Avenue.

Selma AIR is the locally-based nonprofit agency founded in 1995 to provide information and resources related to HIV.

Provide, Inc. is a nonprofit that works in partnership with health and social service providers and agencies to build a health system that is equipped to comprehensively respond to women’s needs in healthcare.
