About Us

Mu Zeta Chapter, San Francisco State University's chapter of Alpha Phi Omega will host Multi-Cultural AIDS Awareness Day on April 5th, 2010 at Malcolm X Plaza and the Main Quad, in front of the Caesar Chavez Student Center to raise awareness of HIV and AIDS among students. Organizations of all sizes, serving the San Francisco AIDS community, will participate in this educational and informational event. For the last fourteen years, the event has fostered grass-roots peer education efforts about HIV/AIDS. The collaboration between university administration, community-based organizations, and Alpha Phi Omega, a National Co-ed Service Fraternity, has continued the ambitious effort to link the critical global issue of HIV/AIDS with San Francisco State University students. As research and treatment for AIDS has advanced and the demographics of the disease have changed, the AIDS Awareness event educates students to be better prepared to deal with the issues of HIV/AIDS and prevention, as well as intervention. In addition to educating student about the current development of AIDS treatments, the effects of AIDS on the multi-cultural community both on campus and abroad, the event also includes free HIV testing from the SFSU Health Center, EROS Latexhibition, and cultural performances, organized by the students partaking in peer leadership role that is, in many cases, linked with service learning. We hope to engage students and the public about the AIDS pandemic. HIV/AIDS is a global crisis in our community. Together, we can bring AIDS awareness to the forefront of the community. Please join us on April 5th, 2010 to partake in this momentous occasion and help us celebrate 14 years of HIV/AIDS awareness.
