After 27 years, the AIDS Walk Washington is to be renamed “The Walk To End HIV,” Whitman-Walker Health announced today.

In a statement, Whitman-Walker Executive Director Don Blanchon said that the impetus for the name change “reflects a cataclysmic shift to what HIV is today—a chronic, manageable disease.” Blanchon also says that, since the disease has become a treatable, manageable illness, “addressing the HIV epidemic is about caring for the health and well-being of the whole person.” Changing the Walk’s name, he says, is “a way to focus attention on getting us to that ultimate finish line—providing care for all who are HIV-positive and getting to zero new infections.”

This year’s Walk to End HIV will take place on October 25th, with a goal to raise $1 million for Whitman-Walker Health and their community partners. Registration for the 5k officially opened today and, for the first time, it’ll also be an official timed run, if you’re into that thing.

“From the time I started training to become a doctor in the late 1990s to now, the advances in HIV treatment, prevention, and delivery of care have been remarkable,” Raymond Martins, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Whitman-Walker Health, said in a statement. “When we say that we are walking to end HIV, this is not just a pipe dream. Even without a cure or vaccine, through testing, early detection, and a comprehensive care plan, we can create an AIDS-free city and hopefully be moving towards ending HIV. We have the tools and we know how to do it. Now we need everyone’s participation and support to make it a reality.”
