When Candice Wiggins thinks about her father’s AIDS-related death, the thing that stands out the most is the silence about what killed him. “No one talked about it,” she says. Today, she is the one starting the conversation.

In the past, she has been affiliated with other AIDS awareness organizations, such as Until There’s a Cure and the Minnesota AIDS Project.
