The health fair features free onsite HIV testing

The health fair features free onsite HIV testing for all tournament attendees, players and guests. All are welcome to participate.

The winner of the Houston tournament automatically qualifies for the national tournament to be held in Las Vegas in November, and a chance to win $45,000.00 in prizes. Other participants are able to qualify for the national tournament and have their travel expenses to Las Vegas paid by raising $3,000.00. The participants who raise the most money will join Jackee Harry, Danny Glover and others in a celebrity Bid Whist tournament.

"Rates of HIV in persons over 50 years of age are 12 times higher among African Americans than among whites," according to Timothy G. Heckman, Ph.D. "Older people do not consider themselves at risk. Physicians rarely talk to older patients about sex or other risk behaviors."

"Trump AIDS is an unprecedented event that will provide Black people who are not actively engaged in the HIV battle with access to important health information," says Black AIDS Institute COO Aron Myers. "This is a tremendous opportunity for the Atlanta community and good citizenship for all."

"There's no way to end the AIDS epidemic in Black communities without targeting this population," adds Black AIDS Institute founder and CEO Phill Wilson. "The Black AIDS Institute has spent the last decade meeting Black folks where they are. Trump AIDS is a perfect example of identifying an indigenous pastime in our community and using it to deliver culturally effective messaging. Everything about this effort, from the date and city where we launched the campaign, to its celebrity co-chairs -- Danny Glover and Jackée Harry -- celebrate the Black experience."
