SAN FRANCISCO --
The 37th Annual AIDS Walk in Golden Gate Park raised over $1 million, according to event organizers. The event was back in person for the second straight year following two years virtually due to the pandemic. Thousands participated in the 5K. "It really got lively quick," said Robert Mansfield, one of the board members for the AIDS Walk SF Foundation. "We saw the activity ramp up from 6, 6:30, 7 -- it came alive, and it has been beautiful here."
Scientists in Germany announced in February a fifth person no longer had detectable levels of HIV in their system. That happened as a result of a high-risk stem cell treatment. Despite the progress, there is still no official cure for HIV/AIDS. Around 38 million people live with the virus. "Progress is great, but we still have a lot of work to do," Mansfield said. "NIH just released some numbers last week. Infections rates were up -- skyrocketing, so that is a little shocking."
