HOUSTON, TX — The T.R.U.T.H. Project, Inc., with support from AIDS Foundation Houston, Inc. and the Houston Health Department Bureau of HIV/STD and Viral Hepatitis Prevention, presents A Story Told: A World AIDS Day Experience on Friday, December 1, beginning at 6 p.m. Directed by Kevin Anderson and choreographed by Nick Muckleroy, this multidisciplinary performance uses spoken word, movement, song and theater to explore issues of HIV stigma, prevention and education.

Half of the people with diagnosed HIV in 2014 were black, 27 percent were Hispanic/Latino and 19 percent were white.
