Worlds Aids Day
.
In 1987, the
Silence = Death poster was created by a New York-based group of artists to protest the U.S. government's inaction on the AIDS epidemic, which they saw as a result of government and societal silence.

Heute, am 1. Dezember, ist Welt-Aids-Tag. Er steht international unter dem Motto „Rethink. Rebuild. Rise.“ („Neu denken. Wiederaufbauen. Aufstehen.“). Denn die Kürzungen von Zuschüssen für Prävention und Therapie vor allem durch die USA machen es notwendig, die bisherigen Strategien im Kampf gegen HIV/Aids zu überdenken und Strukturen neu aufzubauen.

From the article: "MEXICO CITY (AP) — It’s been called the closest the world has ever come to a vaccine against the AIDS virus."The twice-yearly shot was 100% effective in preventing HIV infections in a study of women, and results published Wednesday show it worked nearly as well in men.
"Drugmaker Gilead said it will allow cheap, generic versions to be sold in 120 poor countries with high HIV rates — mostly in Africa, Southeast Asia and the Caribbean. But it has excluded nearly all of Latin America, where rates are far lower but increasing, sparking concern the world is missing a critical opportunity to stop the disease."

December 1st is #WorldAIDSDay
The photo is from the night before my 1st Pride parade. I was 20 years old. Think about that for a minute.
For many of us, our 1st pride weekend also included our 1st AIDS memorial march.
Imagine over than half your dating pool dying.
Imagine newly formed friendships disappearing.
Imagine the government not giving a shit because, in their words, AIDS is "k¡II¡ng all the right people"
And you wonder why we're angry?

From the article: "Tens of thousands of people most vulnerable to contracting HIV are forced to pay for medication to prevent the virus, despite federal requirements guaranteeing free access to treatment that is critical to ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States, according to multiple studies and interviews with medical professionals, activists and patients.
"Insurance companies are skirting rules compelling them to pay for pre-exposure prophylaxis treatment, known as PrEP, researchers and HIV advocacy organizations say — leaving patients to shell out hundreds of dollars each year for medication co-pays, doctor visits and screenings required to stay on drugs that reduce the risk of contracting HIV through sex by 99 percent.
"Under the Affordable Care Act, commercial insurers must cover certain preventive health services. This is supposed to include at least one form of oral PrEP and related health services, such as regular testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, for people at increased risk of contracting HIV, according to 2021 guidance from the Biden administration."

From the article: "Every day, passionate people fight to raise awareness about the AIDS epidemic, as well as equal rights, better medical care, and dignity for those affected with the disease. They have been doing so for decades. From grassroots activists who wage wars for affordable and effective medications, to celebrities who use their public platform to bolster funding and awareness of the disease, each of these people has changed the landscape of HIV/AIDS."#WorldAIDSDay #AIDS #ADISAwareness #AIDSActivism
