Miami, FL-The Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County recognizes “Getting 2 Zero” HIV/AIDS Awareness Week. Miami-Dade County made a community investment to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic. In 2017, a resolution declared the third week in February as "Getting 2 Zero Miami-Dade County Awareness Week". The goal is to get to zero new HIV/AIDS cases, zero AIDS related deaths, zero stigma, and zero discrimination. 

The Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County, in partnership with the Office of Community Advocacy and Survivor’s Pathway, will host “Getting 2 Zero” caravan parades, as part of the fourth annual “Getting 2 Zero” Awareness Week Campaign, which this year focuses on HIV prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. 

The decorated caravan parades will take place in Liberty City on February 8^th, North Miami on February 9^th, and Little Havana on February 12^th, to bring attention to the HIV epidemic and increase HIV awareness and knowledge.

There are numerous events in Miami-Dade County. Please see the attached calendar.
