SACRAMENTO, Calif. – (December 2, 2024) – Assemblymember Mike Gipson (D-Carson) joins global efforts to raise awareness and reaffirm his unwavering commitment to ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Assemblymember Gipson emphasizes the importance of ensuring that every community has the resources, education, and support needed to combat HIV/AIDS effectively.

Gipson (D-Carson). “This isn’t just about statistics, it’s about lives—our families, friends, and neighbors who deserve access to prevention, treatment, and care. I am committed to doing whatever it takes to ensure our communities, especially those disproportionately impacted, have the tools and resources to thrive. Ending HIV/AIDS requires collective action.
