This is Worcester is a program hosted and produced by community activist, Bill Coleman. Bill continues his talk with two representatives of Aids Project Worcester. APW started in 1987, during the early to mid-80's, when residents of the city of Worcester and its surrounding suburbs began to be infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus ( HIV) in increasing numbers. With few government or community services available at the time, those early individuals and families found comfort and support particularly in Pakachoag Community Church in Auburn, MA. As the numbers grew through the mid-80's the complexity of needs expanded. As a result, the need for more services became clearly evident. Out of community discussions concerning how best to meet those needs AIDS Project Worcester, INC. was born.
