Florida AIDS Walk & Music Festival

Why We Walk

Walking For Change

While HIV and AIDS have fallen out of the spotlight in recent years, the epidemic is far from over. An estimated 1.2 million people in the US are living with HIV, and about 13% of them don’t know it. Florida AIDS Walk works to bring attention to this pressing issue, educate and inspire our community to work together and end the epidemic once and for all.

We walk for the more than 100,000 people living with HIV in Florida. We walk to remember those who no longer can. We walk to remind you that you are not alone. We walk for a nation. We walk for change.
