INTERVIEW
In this episode of Catalyst Radio we learn about the Grand Rapids Red Project, and its effort in prevention of and testing for HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C, including a needle exchange program for intervenes drug users.
In studio is executive director of the organization Steve Alsum, to explain how a program such as Clean Works helps to reduce and eliminate the risk of HIV/AIDS, STDs, and HepC through provision of clean supplies, and also talk about how media coverage of HIV/AIDS has changed over the 3 decades since the public knowledge of the infection.
To help raise funds for the Grand Rapids Red Project, a 5k Walk and Run is set for Saturday, Oct. 13, in downtown Grand Rapids. Alsum gives the details on how to take part, to support The Red Project and its services.
