As we are honored to do every year on World AIDS Day, Alliance for Housing and Healing placed flowers on the 150 plaques that are embedded in the sidewalks along Santa Monica Boulevard in the heart of West Hollywood. Each plaque is engraved with one or more names of those we lost to AIDS. These cherished loved ones are not forgotten and the brass plaques serve as a public memorial.
Since the beginning of the epidemic, almost 70 million people have been infected with the HIV virus and about 35 million people have died of AIDS. World AIDS Day asks us to remember those who have died and those who are working on the front lines to find a cure.
