Westside : AIDS AWARENESS
Asian and Pacific Island students at Mount St. Mary’s College in Brentwood were the focus of an AIDS Awareness program Thursday at the school.
The AIDS program was a joint effort between the Asian Pacific AIDS Intervention Team, a nonprofit group that works to promote AIDS awareness among Asian and Pacific Islanders in Los Angeles, and the Asian Pacific Affiliation, a campus group.
“Most Asians don’t think that AIDS affects them,” said Que Dang, of the Intervention Team. “Asians don’t like to talk about sex publicly.”
The Asian Pacific AIDS Intervention Team can be reached at (213) 353-6055.
