Angeles, and L.A. CADA to produce the event. This event was an entertainment and awareness event with a resource fair.

We held the event at the Levitt Pavillion in MacArthur Park. Sound was provided by Nancy Peterson; DJ Drianica spun

music all day between performers. We had two Zumba leaders: Mychele Sims (Get to Werk Fitness) & Paulina Zamudio

(who some folks might recognize from DHSP!). Poet Doris Reed did a set of spoken word. Entertainers included: Lilia

Bogoeva The Acro Guitarist, Kameltoe, Oracle Jane Doe, Maya Jupiter, Jazzmun, Naia Izumi, Brenda Carsey & the Awe, and

New Evil, with special appearance by Jesua Bones. Heart of Art Gallery hosted a free art-making station. Food was provided

by D&R Catering. Images from the event are available here (http://bit.ly/2aLVWR5)

On-site rapid HIV testing was provided by AIDS Healthcare Foundation and King Medical. The first

person to take an HIV test was a previously undiagnosed HIV positive woman. Data on testing

outcomes is not available to us.

Collaborators:

As always, the HIV DATF would like to thank Behavioral Health Services, Inc. for their unending

support. Without BHS’ support of the work we do, we would be unable to provide trainings to as

many people, for as little as we do. The HIV DATF is an all-volunteer enterprise. And without the

agency supporting the work that Susan Forrest, as Chair of the Task Force, does (even though it’s

not technically her job), we are able to produce trainings and events, and to present them for free,

or near free. In addition, BHS has provided us use of the training center, which enables us to hold

large events in a venue with free parking.

We would also like to extend our gratitude to APLA Health. APLA Health

has provided us with training space at no cost. In addition, their support

of their staff who participate on the HIV DATF Steering Committee

enable us to take the time to organize the events that we offer. So we

would especially like to thank APLA Health for supporting Michelle Enfield, Co-Chair and Roger Sediles, Secretary in their

ongoing work with the HIV DATF.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation has provided us with so much material support. In addition to helping us

plan our community events, such as the Women & Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day and our annual Network

& Nosh, they provide food and drinks every time we ask, for as many people as we need to provide for.

We would like to offer a special shout-out to Carlos Catano for all that he does in and for the community,

and for the complete support AHF has always shown the HIV DATF.

A decade ago, Christine Downs sat on the HIV DATF as an out, female, HIV+ service provider who

worked at Cri-Help. After she died, part of her legacy was that Cri Help has continued to support

us in all that we do. They offer us free space to hold large trainings and events, as well as offering

food and drinks to all of our attendees. We would like to thank, in particular, Cara Sandweiss, for

her strong commitment to the HIV DATF.

In addition to the afore-mentioned agencies, the HIV DATF partnered or collaborated in large and small ways throughout

2016 with the following agencies:

AADAP, Inc.

AIDS United

Alcoholism Center for Women

APLA Health & Wellness, Red Circle Project
