Hope Harris Award

Hope Harris was an AIDS Project Rhode Island Board Member and leader who was passionate in her outreach to the African American community to fight the stigma around HIV. Named after Hope, this award recognizes persons or organization exemplifying service to the communities APRI serves and dedication to the fight against HIV/AIDS. Stay tuned for news on this year's honoree.

2023 Hope Harris Honoree – Dr. Joseph Garland

Dr. Garland is the Medical Director of the Infectious Diseases and Immunology Center at the Miriam Hospital, which includes TMH’s federally-funded Ryan White HIV care program that cares for over 2,000 people living with HIV. Dr. Garland has clinical expertise in HIV care, general infectious diseases, travel medicine, and care of immigrant populations. He provides HIV primary care for over 350 patients living with HIV who receive care at the Center. Additionally, he co-chairs the state-wide 90-90-90 collaborative for improving HIV outcomes in Rhode Island and is a member of the American Academy of HIV Medicine. Through the clinic’s partnerships and the 90-90-90 collaborative, Dr. Garland has worked with closely APRI for over seven years. Dr. Garland received his undergraduate and medical degrees from Harvard University and completed residency and fellowship training at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. He is a member of the medical faculty of Brown University.

AIDS Walk History

The AIDS Walk for Life was started by AIDS Project Rhode Island in the mid-1980s—part of a wave of grassroots fundraisers held across the country that was that raised money to help provide care and support to individuals suffering during the early days of the AIDS epidemic, when they were often without insurance, access to services, and/or dying alone because their families and communities had rejected them.

In the more than 30 years since the first AIDS Walk for Life, we have made great strides in the fight against HIV, and now, thanks to advances in medication, people with HIV are living longer, healthier lives.

That does not mean, however that HIV and AIDS have gone away. The virus may not make headlines much these days, but more than 1 million people in the U.S. are living with HIV. Every year, more than 30,000 people in the U.S. get HIV, and continued stigma against people living with the virus, gaps in education, and lack of connection to care and support services present enormous challenges.
