On Sunday, October 12 at 10 a.m., thousands will gather at West Hollywood Park for the 41st annual AIDS Walk Los Angeles, the first AIDS walk in the world.

This year's theme, "Community is the Cure," is meant to reflect a sobering reality: the fight against HIV is not over, and the community must once again lead the way.

Founded in 1985 as a response to government inaction, AIDS Walk Los Angeles continues to raise critical funds for APLA Health , which provides comprehensive services to more than 22,000 Angelenos each year, with a strong focus on people with or at risk for HIV.

These include access to free and low-cost HIV medical care, PrEP and PEP, testing, case management, benefits counseling, mental health services, and the nation's largest food pantry for people living with HIV.
