The Scriptures tell us, ''I have set before you life and death . . . therefore, choose life.'' All who wage the battle against AIDS have made the choice for life. Because of their compassion and courage, millions who once saw the disease as a death sentence now look to the future with hope. This World AIDS Day is a day of importance because it's a day we resolve to continue the work of healing and redemption.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The international Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC), a group of 600 treatment activists from more than 100 countries, today released a report, "Missing the Target -- A Report on HIV/AIDS Treatment Access from the Frontlines," that looks at the status of anti-retroviral treatment provision in low income countries around the world. Researched and written by treatment advocates on the frontlines in six of the countries hardest hit by AIDS -- Dominican Republic, India, Kenya, Nigeria, Russia, and South Africa -- the report identifies barriers to AIDS treatment and offers concrete recommendations to overcome them. Among the roadblocks:
Managers who give effective presentations are much more likely to get the resources they need, be promoted, and have influence. You can become a power presenter by improving the three parts of any effective presentation: structure, visual aids, and platform skills. Successful presentations have effective beginnings, middles, and endings. Impressive visual aids can more than double audience comprehension and retention. That's because people understand and remember most what they both see and hear, less what they only see, and least what they only hear. Platform skills are both the most important and least important part of effective presenting. A presenter who appears trustworthy, confident, and enthusiastic will make a favorable impression even when speaking a foreign language, while a ...
We host this event every year because AIDS is still rampant in the Black community," said Rev. Dr. Edward Earl Johnson, chairman of Harlem Congregations for Community Improvement, Inc. (HCCI), the agency that coordinates this annual vigil. He continued, "We recognize that the church is the bedrock of the Black community and that if the clergy stand up against this disease that the community will stand with us. In Harlem, AIDS is the leading cause of potential life loss before age 75, exceeding heart disease, stroke, cancer and violence. And this community has more new AIDS cases than Chelsea, New York City's predominantly gay neighborhood. As a certified partner of the Balm in Gilead, HCCI works with the other 300 congregations in Harlem to promote the importance of the Black Church W...
NEW YORK - A man in Texas is serving a 35-year prison sentence for spitting at a police officer - because he has the virus that causes AIDS and his saliva was deemed a deadly weapon. In Michigan, an HIV-positive man who allegedly bit a neighbor during an argument faced a bioterrorism charge. Charges for the same acts would have been far less severe if the defendants had been virus-free. Now, a coalition of advocacy groups - backed by an outspoken champion in Congress - is ratcheting up a campaign to press for review and possible repeal of criminal statutes specifically targeting HIV-positive people.
It should come as no surprise that there are AIDS denialists as well. Typically they either reject the fact that AIDS exists, disagree that HIV causes AIDS, claim that AIDS is caused by the very medications designed to treat it, or try to dissuade people from getting tested for HIV. Nearly 500,000 of the 1.2 million Americans living with HIV/AIDS are Black. Nearly 40 percent of Black Americans have a family member or close family friend who is living with or who has died from HIV/AIDS. I have been living with HIV for nearly 30 years. Those of us living with HIV/AIDS or who have lost family and friends to it know painfully well that the connection between HIV and AIDS is not theoretical; it is very, very real. Acknowledging and confronting our risk of HIV/AIDS can be scary. Sometimes it ...
