“In this world, we have to stop judging people when they are experiencing a health issue or concern. It happens to all of us, and that is when we need to support the most. Whether it’s HIV, Cancer, Pregnancy, or Coronavirus, we need to be a good steward and show genuine care for your neighbor.”
Message from the Mayor
"People of all backgrounds, ethnicities, and social-economic status are affected by the infection. The greatest challenge in addressing this public health crisis is the stigma surrounding HIV and AIDS. Through the power of advocacy and education, we can lower the stigma and change Baton Rouge for the better."
Sharon Weston Broome
Mayor of Baton Rouge
