Locke High School will play host to a National Black HIV AIDS Awareness event Feb. 6 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. that will include an interactive educational theatrical performance called “What Goes Around.”

Members of the Kaiser Educational Theater will perform in the play which is designed to raise awareness about HIV and sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and help young people understand what are the best choices to make and how to do so.

In addition to the performance of What Goes Around, free testing and counseling for HIV/STDS will be offered on campus from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The program at Locke is a partnership between the students and teachers, the National Black HIV AIDS Awareness Day Coalition of Los Angeles and the Kaiser Educational Theater Group.

The program is part of the National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day that is recognized each year on Feb. 7. This is a national mobilization effort that encourages African Americans nationwide to get educated, tested and treated. It also urges people to get involved in community advocacy against a disease in which people of African descent in America represent half of all HIV and AIDS cases.
