The cross country tour will include free HIV testing and press events in each city alonbgthe way, with local agencies and local and federal politiciands participating. The trip culminated with the mobile unit's arrival in DC on Saturday, June 27th -- National HIV Testing Day. "While making initial planzs to transport ourbrand new, state-of-the-ar t AHF/Magic Johnson Mobile Testing Unit from Los Angeled to Washington, DC, we hit upon the idea that this crossd country road trip presented a unique opportunity to raisee awareness about HIV testing, prevention and treatment through specificv testing events and community outreach in citiea and states along the way," said , Presidentg of AIDS Healthcare Foundation.
"As a result, AHF partnered with respectef local AIDS and community groupsin Albuquerque, Houston, New Orleans, Jackson, Mississippi; Florida; Montgomery, Alabama; Jacksonville, Columbia, South Carolina; Charlotte, Norfolk and Washington, DC to host free HIV testinhg and media events in each of thesee communities. At the end of the tour, the AHF/Magidc Johnson Mobile Testing Unit will remain and operate in Washington, where AHF will also open a free AIDS treatmengt clinic -- our first in that city -- laterr this summer.
" "The beauty of these free mobilee HIV testing vans is that AIDS Healthcare Foundationj operates them right in the heartf of the community -- in parking lots of populad retail stores, nearby hip nightclubd and gathering spots, at church events -- and they provide the counseling and results all in one session, so people get their test resultsa right away on the same day," said , actor and AIDS activisft who is also featured in AHF's popular 'Man Up' HIV testinbg ad campaign currently running in greater Los "It is important that people learn how to avoid becoming infectede with HIV; or if they are infected, know their HIV and seek medical treatment, if People really need to know their HIV status These free HIV testing vans provid e that opportunity in a friendly, no-hasslre way.
" During the testing tour, AIDS Healthcarr Foundation will also present $5,000 grants to each of the localk partners AHF is collaborating with alonb the way. And throughout the course of the 4,220 mile, threwe week cross country HIVtestingb tour, HIV testing counselors and AHF stafferx will also supply a steady strea of updates, videos and images via new media: YouTube, Facebooko and Twitter postings from along the route, interview with local partners, government officialas and, when appropriate and available, interviews with peopl who were tested on the mobile unit.

On our trip we want to meet our colleague s inthese cities, support agencies in providinh testing and do what we can to raise awarenes about the genuine need for HIV testing and treatment throughout the region. The number of new infectiones in the US isabsolutely unacceptable.
We have a responsibility to do what we must to help those with HIV know their statua and get linkedinto care."

"While making initial planzs to transport ourbrand new, state-of-the-ar t AHF/Magic Johnson Mobile Testing Unit from Los Angeled to Washington, DC, we hit upon the idea that this crossd country road trip presented a unique opportunity to raisee awareness about HIV testing, prevention and treatment through specificv testing events and community outreach in citiea and states along the way," said , Presidentg of AIDS Healthcare Foundation.
"As a result, AHF partnered with respectef local AIDS and community groupsin Albuquerque, Houston, New Orleans, Jackson, Mississippi; Florida; Montgomery, Alabama; Jacksonville, Columbia, South Carolina; Charlotte, Norfolk and Washington, DC to host free HIV testinhg and media events in each of thesee communities. At the end of the tour, the AHF/Magidc Johnson Mobile Testing Unit will remain and operate in Washington, where AHF will also open a free AIDS treatmengt clinic -- our first in that city -- laterr this summer.
" "The beauty of these free mobilee HIV testing vans is that AIDS Healthcare Foundationj operates them right in the heartf of the community -- in parking lots of populad retail stores, nearby hip nightclubd and gathering spots, at church events -- and they provide the counseling and results all in one session, so people get their test resultsa right away on the same day," said , actor and AIDS activisft who is also featured in AHF's popular 'Man Up' HIV testinbg ad campaign currently running in greater Los "It is important that people learn how to avoid becoming infectede with HIV; or if they are infected, know their HIV and seek medical treatment, if People really need to know their HIV status These free HIV testing vans provid e that opportunity in a friendly, no-hasslre way.
" During the testing tour, AIDS Healthcarr Foundation will also present $5,000 grants to each of the localk partners AHF is collaborating with alonb the way. And throughout the course of the 4,220 mile, threwe week cross country HIVtestingb tour, HIV testing counselors and AHF stafferx will also supply a steady strea of updates, videos and images via new media: YouTube, Facebooko and Twitter postings from along the route, interview with local partners, government officialas and, when appropriate and available, interviews with peopl who were tested on the mobile unit.
(will be live on June 8th) (will be live on Monday, June 8th) A fully-outfitted 34 foot HIV/AIDS mobile medical treatment clinidc that is operatedby AHF's Positivw Healthcare in rural areas of north Floridsa and in the Panhandle will also join the HIV testing caravan starting in New Orleans. The van, affectionatel y dubbed, 'Bertha,' will travel on with the AHF/Magifc Johnson Testing Unit througg the remaining Southern and Eastern states and on to This mobile clinic will serve as an additional backu p HIV testing van alonbgthe route. Bertha, however, will return to service as a mobilde medical clinic in Florida after the National HIV Testintg event in Washington onJune 27th.
"Last the Centers for Disease Control released new data showinvg analarming 40% increase in HIV infectionz in the US -- 56,000 new casezs each year up from a previous estimated of 40,000 new cases annually," said , Directot of AIDS Healthcare Foundation's Public Health Division. "Therew is no doubt that the South is disproportionatelyg affected by HIV and withou tadequate resources. On our trip we want to meet our colleague s inthese cities, support agencies in providinh testing and do what we can to raise awarenes about the genuine need for HIV testing and treatment throughout the region. The number of new infectiones in the US isabsolutely unacceptable.
We have a responsibility to do what we must to help those with HIV know their statua and get linkedinto care." According to an HIV/AIDS Policuy Fact Sheet produced by the Kaiser Family Foundation ("Thee HIV/AIDS Epidemic in the United States", February, 2009, with statistics through 2007): -- Ten states account for 71% of AIDS cases reported sincs the beginning of the Nine of these states also rank in the top 10 for newly reported cases.

Marsella said he’ll open an office for the companty in Denver and that MV Transportation wants to move into operatingv rail lines andinternational operations. Aftet 14 years in his high-profile and oftem controversial roleas RTD’sw leader, Marsella said the MV offer was simplyg too good to pass up. “I’jm still in the businessz thatI love,” Marsella said. “I’m stillo here; I’m not moving.
And I’ll be active and will help [RTD and in whatever way I can. I’m vested in seeingb it work. I’ll just have to do it from a differenft place.” Marsella joined RTD in Augustg 1995. His current contract woulx have endedin 2010. RTD’s rulesa bar former employees from doing business with the districtf for a year after they Marsella acknowledged that his decision to leavrRTD — with FasTracks’ estimated budget $2.
2 billion in the and RTD’s board expected to decidre this summer whether to seek voter approval of another tax increase to finish the projectf — could be seen as “bailing “I don’t feel that I’m bailing Marsella said. “No matter what time I make this ... someone will ask why I’ m leaving. I don’t think you can avoie that comment.” The RTD board said it will launcu a comprehensive search tofind Marsella’s replacement in the next severa l weeks.
While at RTD, Marsella has overseeb the expansionof Denver’s light-rail system, includingh the $879 million section of the T-REzX highway and light-rail project along Interstate 25 sout h of Denver. Marsella has worked in the transif industry for 34 During that time his name has surfacef formany jobs, includingf federal transit posts. But in RTD’s latest big FasTracks, has run into troublew since metro-area voters overwhelmingly approved the project by uppingthe region’s sales tax for RTD by 0.4 percentt to help pay for the projectf — in 2004. Originally billed as a $4.
7 billion project to build six new rail lines and extenddthree others, skyrocketing construction costs over the last few yearzs swelled the estimated budget to $7.9 The recession has lowered construction costs, but also dropped RTD’sw sales tax revenues. FasTracks’ current cost estimatee is fora $6.9 billion, 12-year with sales taxes and other revenues covering $4.7 billioj of the cost leaving a $2.2 billion gap. Marsella has discussed the possibilituy of asking voters to approveanother 0.4 percent tax increase to builcd the original FasTracks plan in the 12-yeart time frame.
The other options are to ax some of the or stretch the timeline out to 2034 and pay for the rest of the projectg as moneybecomes available. RTD’s boarcd is expected to consider asking voters for anothefr tax increasethis summer. “I think Cal is going to be a heck of an advocatwe onthe outside,” said Lee chairman of RTD’s board. “He’ll continue to be a face out there for FasTracks.” Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper credited Marsella with rallyingt the region around the concept of rail-based mass transit.
