Walking for AIDS awareness at Osbon Park
Tammie Dunbar, a 9 year AIDS survivor, told a crowd at Osbon Park Saturday morning that HIV is not a death sentence. As part of the state’s largest AIDS WALK, participants from Florence and Orangeburg counties gathered to break the silence and raise awareness about the epidemic. Dunbar said she learned in 1997 she carried the virus after infection by her husband. She urged that HIV can affect anyone and recalled eight transfusions and health scares from 1997 to 2000.
