HIV+?
TELL YOUR STORY

Recently we learned of a project titled "The Conversation," a book and film about disclosure about one's HIV status – an often dificult and overwhelming issue for many coming to grips with being HIV+. If you would like to share your story, with the hopes of making "the conversation" easier for others, please visit their website at thehivconversation.com.

 
THE FOUNDATION
The Foundation

The Richmond/Ermet AIDS Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization established to raise funds for AIDS service provider agencies through the production of quality entertainment events. Born from the grass-roots efforts of two mothers, Barbara Richmond and the late Peggy Ermet, who lost their only sons to AIDS as a way to honor their sons' memories and to help alleviate the suffering of many of the other sons and daughters living with HIV and AIDS, the Foundation has become one of the leading sources of funding for many local AIDS service providers.
