WATCH LIVE: Localish LA - AIDS Walk Edition - KABC-TV

-
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Due to the coronavirus pandemic, APLA Health has mounted its first-ever online only, digital AIDS Walk Los Angeles.

ABC7 is a Grand Sponsor of the event, and broadcasted a special presentation of "Localish LA" focused on AIDS Walk L.A., Saturday, August 29 at 6:30 p.m. on ABC7, abc7.com/live and the ABC7 Los Angeles app.

Since 1985, hundreds of thousands of walkers and supporters have raised nearly $90 million in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Los Angeles County.

This year, sponsors, individuals and teams are encouraged to "Get With the Programs." Digital participants will choose their "walk" from APLA Health's three primary service categories - Care, Support, and Education.


Through their fundraising efforts, participants will see firsthand how they support the vital work of APLA Health. They will receive and distribute content directly tied to their "walk," and will be able to inspire their network to learn more about the program they are most passionate about.

Funds raised are a vital lifeline that sustains APLA Health as well as other HIV/AIDS health and support organization beneficiaries.

AIDS Walk Los Angeles is the pioneer fundraising walk against HIV. It raises vital funds and builds support and awareness of the continuing need to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic.


Individuals and teams can register at aidswalkla.org. The campaign runs through September 13.

tb in pregnancy :: Article Creator TB Fight Goes To Vulnerable Communities Tuberculosis (TB) is still the most deadly infectious disease in the world, killing over 4 000 people every day, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). As such, in compliance with the latest WHO Latent TB Infection (LTBI) guidelines, in 2020, the Ministry of Health rolled out short-course rifapentine-based TB Preventive Therapies (TPT) nationally as one way of providing equitable access to TB preventive therapy to all those eligible. Latent TB infection means that not everyone who is infected with TB immediately develops the TB disease. Some people go on to have a dormant form of TB that can be reactivated over time or when the immune system is suppressed. So treating LTBI will prevent the person from getting active TB. However, most people in rural areas are still not aware of how they can access the treatment. To complement government's efforts in respo

Yellowing, brittle and unusual-looking toenails can be a sign that a fungal nail infection, called onychomycosis, has taken root. Experts say these infections don't go away on their own and can easily spread from person to person without treatment. "Fungus tends to be greedy," said Dr. Boni Elewski, chair of the department of dermatology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. If you pick it up from close contact with someone who is infected or by walking barefoot in a locker room, for instance, it can then crawl under your toenail and spread into the nail itself, she said. Wearing moist, sweaty shoes can encourage the fungus to grow. Toenail fungus affects an estimated one in 10 people worldwide, and becomes more common with age — afflicti
