Display Hosts: The Ohio State University AIDS Clinical Trials Group • The MetroHealth System • AIDS Funding Collaborative
Display Host: The Ohio State University AIDS Clinical Trials Group - Since 1987, The Ohio State University AIDS Clinical Trials Unit (ACTU) have conducted federally sponsored clinical trials for the treatment of HIV and its complications. With over 30 years of working in HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention research, we have participated in the development of treatments to improve the health and the quality of life of persons living with HIV. Many of today’s treatments for HIV are available because of this work. On this World AIDS Day, we thank the countless research volunteers who have participated in our studies, not knowing if it would benefit them, but ultimately understanding that they have contributed to the amazing successes we have today. As we work towards the cure we encourage others to follow their example.
Display Host: The MetroHealth System - MetroHealth and the AIDS Funding Collaborative (AFC) are teaming up to host two virtual displays as part of this exhibition. We have hand-selected a total of 16 Quilt blocks of the Quilt that feature Ohioans, providing an important educational resource for reducing stigma and building public awareness about HIV/AIDS. Many of the blocks in this display include panels created by local families during MetroHealth’s panel-making workshops, which have occurred every-other year since 2009. MetroHealth has been caring for people living with HIV since 1991 and is known for innovative approaches to providing holistic support, such as the Positive Peers app for young folx living with HIV. The AFC strengthens the community’s response to HIV/AIDS as a public/private partnership providing advocacy, funding, leadership and coordination in Greater Cleveland.
