WORLD AIDS DAY 2025 - “Remember. Renew. Respond.”

VOA Health is honored to host a two-day World AIDS Day event this year as we come together to remember those we’ve lost, renew our commitment to ending HIV in our community, and respond with compassion, education, and action.

📍 Day 1: Community Resource Fair
December 1, 2025 | 10 AM – 2 PM
Goodwill West Louisville Opportunity Center
2820 West Broadway
We’ll have community partners onsite, free and confidential HIV testing, health screenings, and resources for housing, employment, mental health, and healthcare access.
During our closing hour (1–2 PM), we’ll hold a special remembrance moment and hear from two individuals living and thriving with HIV. Their stories matter, and they remind us why this work is so important.

📍 Day 2: Free Haircuts + HIV Testing Event
December 2, 2025 | 9:30 AM – 2 PM
Kentucky College of Barbering
2820 West Broadway, Suite 500
In partnership with the Kentucky College of Barbering, we’re offering free HIV testing and education. Anyone who gets tested will receive a free haircut, and barber students will participate in a friendly competition — the student with the most clients tested wins a professional clipper set.

Our goals are simple but powerful:
✔ Increase awareness and education
✔ Expand access to community-based testing
✔ Strengthen linkage to care
✔ Reduce stigma and celebrate resilience

We invite you to join us, bring a friend, and take part in a day of remembrance, empowerment, and support.
Together, we honor the past and invest in a healthier future.
