Senior Beth Larson has always been interested in HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness. Beth joined MN-TAP (Minnesota Teens for AIDS Prevention) as a way to share her knowledge on the subject with peers. On March 18th, Beth spoke at the AIDS Action Day 2008 held at the State Capitol to make her voice heard. The goal of the event was to raise awareness about the need for public health policies and education to reduce the impact of HIV in Minnesota. In her speech, Beth indicated that, "I'm fortunate I was provided with this education during my school experience," but wants others to have the same information.
