STOP AIDS: It's Everyone's Business

It is a recognized fact that community business leaders have tremendous influence within their communities. We are asking for your support of our new "STOP AIDS: It's Everyone's Business" statewide Business and Labor Responds to AIDS project. Businesses are essential partners in the response to AIDS, and you can make a huge difference in reducing the stigma and complacency about the need for HIV prevention. You are in a unique position to respond to the HIV/AIDS epidemic because you have relationships with employers, customers, and local business communities. These relationships allow HIV prevention messages to become a part of your communities’ environment.
