World AIDS Day

November 30, 2009 at 11:47 pm (HIV/AIDS) (, )

As many of you know, I have been working in the HIV/AIDS field since the 1990s. Having seen children with HIV, and the devastation that this disease has caused in communities, it’s not something that I can easily let go of. I made these little ribbons for some friends at work to wear tomorrow during our World AIDS Day activities. I was reading online today an article about AIDS ribbons and how they were no longer considered “fashionable”. Wouldn’t it be nice if HIV and AIDS were no longer considered fashionable?

Here are some good sites to check out!

Every 9½ minutes someone in the US is infected with HIV. Act Against AIDS. Be the Solution: NineAndaHalfMinutes.org

God bless.
