Honoring Elizabeth Taylor’s Work in the HIV Community
As we prepare to honor Utahans at the forefront of HIV Tuesday evening, the Utah AIDS Foundation joins our colleagues at organizations such as blog.AIDS.gov, amFAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, National Minority AIDS Council (NMAC), and POZ in recognizing the passing of Elizabeth Taylor (1932–2011). In addition to being known as an Oscar-winning actress, Ms. Taylor was truly committed to responding to HIV from the early days of the epidemic. In particular, she was dedicated to research and addressing discrimination and stigma around HIV. The HIV community is so grateful for all of her efforts.
The Utah AIDS Foundation would like to invite you to view a short video tribute put together by amFAR. Please find the video here.
