TP Photovoice is proud to announce the development of a yearlong exhibition and initiative to call attention to TB and HIV/AIDS. The exhibition is in the city of El Paso,Texas, one of the original cities that housed a TB Photovoice group in 2006. Dr. Eva Moya was the facilitator of this initial group and has continued to play a critical role in TB awareness and highlighting the role that stigma plays in the prevention and treatment of this treatable disease.  Below is a link to the University of Texas at El Paso website with further information.
