AIDS Walk is Oct. 2. The Legal Community AIDS
Walk Task Force or LCAT is a group of legal professionals
who volunteer to raise money for the AIDS Walk from the metropolitan
Washington legal community. Since its inception, LCAT has
raised more than $2 million for Whitman-Walker Legal Services
in conjunction with the annual AIDS Walk. Check out
LCAT’s tremendous accomplishments as part
of the 2009 AIDS Walk.
 Legal
Assistance for People Living with HIV/AIDS
Virtually everyone living with HIV/AIDS encounters legal problems
associated with his or her health status. Many HIV-positive
people cannot afford the representation they need to fight
for their rights to continue working, maintain access to health
care, or ensure their confidentiality. Founded in 1986, the
legal services program of Whitman-Walker Clinic is the only
Washington, DC, area program offering a wide range of pro
bono legal services specifically for people living with HIV/AIDS.
Legal Assistance on LGBT Health-Related
Legal Issues
Because of Whitman-Walker’s special mission to the LGBT
community, Whitman-Walker now offers pro bono assistance to
HIV-negative individuals and to those living with HIV/AIDS
on a number of legal matters that are important to GLBT health,
including discrimination, access to health care, planning
for the future, and immigration.
If you have an HIV-related legal problem, or you are a client
of any Whitman-Walker Clinic program, and are a resident of
the Washington, DC, metropolitan area, call Whitman-Walker
Clinic Legal Services at 202-939-7627 on weekdays between
