NY1: New Yorkers commemorate World AIDS Day with reading of the names

“There’s still so many thousands of New Yorkers living with HIV and there’s so many people who are at risk of HIV transmission which is preventable. We have tools now that were unthinkable to so many of these people. So many of these losses, these deaths, were preventable. We have those tools now but they’re not in everyone’s hands equitably,” Seth Pollack of Housing Works, a nonprofit that fights AIDS and homelessness, said.
