The Greene-Pitt Women’s Empowerment Team finalists will host “Get the 411 on HIV medication,” a lunch and learn, this Thursday, March 6th, from 12 – 2 p.m. at the Ledonia Wright Cultural Center at East Carolina University.
The team welcomes all people living with HIV, advocates, health care providers, home healthcare givers, and activists to join them for a free lunch, door prizes, and a panel discussion on HIV medication and the effects of the Affordable Care Act, the AIDS Drug Assistance Program, and other changes.
This event is being held in advance of National Women and Girls HIV Awareness Day, which is Monday, March 10.
            The team comprises Esther Ross of Greenville and Debbie Maye of Snow Hill, one of six finalist teams in the statewide North Carolina AIDS Action Network’s Women’s Empowerment TEAM Project.
The Women’s Empowerment TEAM project is made possible by an Empowered Community Grant from AIDS United, a funding collaborative of Alicia Keys and Bristol-Myers Squibb. It is a part of the broader Empowered Campaign with Greater than AIDS.
