AIDS educational forum accepting registration

The Metro Atlanta HIV Health Services Planning Council, funded through Title I of the Ryan White CARE Act, is accepting registrations for its annual African-American Outreach Initiative Educational Forum, March 8-9, 2003.

The forum is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day at the Holiday Inn Select, Decatur. A reception to kick-off the event is March 7 at 6 p.m.

The purpose of this free event is to encourage HIV-positive African Americans to seek health care and treatment and to increase medical adherence among those already in care.

To register, contact Michael Banner at 404-296-3090.

Fulton County's Ryan White program, under the direction of Commission Chair Mike Kenn, administers all Ryan White Title I Care Act Grants for the State of Georgia.
