Caution Play and Frybread Taco Sale at American Indian Health and Family Services in Detroit from 6-8 pm tonight! This is a special performance by the teens of the Matrix Theater Company. This play is designed to reduce stigma and create and open, safe space to discuss HIV/AIDS. I am going to be there. So, I hope to see you there! I would link up the event but the website for AIHFS is down for maintenance.
In the Detroit area you can call Affirmations to find out where you can get tested and receive support services!
