Our mission at APLA Health is to end the HIV epidemic. Unfortunately, in LA County, our transgender family members are disproportionately impacted by new HIV infections.

Trans Connections is an HIV prevention program for trans people of color, ages 18-29. We offer incentivized testing, linkage to care for those who are newly or previously diagnosed with HIV, fun events, and more!

Through Trans Connections, we are also able to provide one-on-one support for transgender people of color in a holistic way. We know that you can’t lecture and preach, you have to listen and respect all aspects of a person’s life in order to ensure the best health and prevent HIV.

By providing an open and affirming environment, we know that we can make a real difference and end an epidemic.
Get Creative!
This year we are really calling on our AIDS Walk family to showcase your resiliency. We designed our Get With the Programs theme this year to empower you with the information you need to share your story with your friends, family, and co-workers, but we need your help in taking it a step further!

Since you can’t come to AIDS Walk this year, we need to bring AIDS Walk to you. How will you Walk 6.2 miles (10k) on (or before!) September 13th? How will you keep your team together online? Our staff wants to help you answer these questions, and in the meantime, we’ve put together a few fun pieces you can use to get started. Check out our downloadable social graphics that you can use to customize your profile and attract attention for your chosen Walk.
Time to Get with the Localish Program

We’re excited to announce our first fundraising challenge for the year! This one’s for individuals.

If you were looking for an extra incentive, this is what you’ve been waiting for. This challenge is open to anyone who has registered for AIDS Walk Los Angeles 2020.

The Top 3 Walkers who raise the most money between tomorrow, August 6 and Wednesday August 12 at 11:59 p.m. will have an opportunity to submit a video and be in ABC7’s Localish program! Our broadcast sponsor ABC7 will be highlighting AIDS Walk Los Angeles and the hard work APLA Health does for the community because of your support.

Winners will be contacted and the results shared on our website and social media too.

So get fundraising!

If you need some tools, check out our graphics here.
Are you on a team and want to participate? Well, your opportunity is coming up next week, so stay tuned!

*Note that all winners of current and upcoming challenges can only win once for AIDS Walk Los Angeles 2020. All previous donations prior to August 6 and after August 12 will not be eligible.
