Since 1988, December first has been a day designated to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS. The executive director of AVOL Kentucky is Jon Parker. He said looking back on how this disease impacted Kentuckians is a key part of World AIDS Day each year.
“We certainly want to reflect and remember all the people who came before us who we may have lost, you know families have been impacted by that loss and then certainly recognizing all the people through the years that have worked on the front lines,” said Parker.
