AIDS is the leading cause of death for African-American women ages 25-34.

A
Quote from Rod Michano...
“My goal is to offer peace and hope to all people in this life,
especially People living with HIV/AIDS, regardless of what our
Creator places in front of each one of us. My own illness has
actually taught me about life…how to live in a better way, both
spiritually and mentally. The one thing I have learned most is to
never give up…through the worst of circumstances, sometimes come the
most valuable lessons of our existence. I had to make a choice, to
live or die, but I chose to live…I believe the Creator kept me here
to send this message of hope to all people of Mother Earth. Just
never give up!” ‘Shining Thunderbird Eagleman’ ROD MICHANO
(2005)

Our
friend Bradford:
My
name is Bradford McIntyre and I’m Positively Positive! I have been
living, infected with the HIV since 1984! I feel very fortunate
sharing in this 20th Anniversary, with you! There is more power in
people knowing I am HIV positive, than there ever was in the fear
and hiding. The answers are in letting go of fear! Society has
created a huge closet housing many shelves. Shelves for Gay, BI
sexual, Lesbian and transgendered, but even more shelves housing
drug abuse, alcohol abuse, sexual abuse, physical and mental abuse,
bulimia, anorexia, cancer, AIDS, dis-ease and disease. It is time
for us all to come out of the closet and tell people what is going
on in our life.
Please visit:
www.positivelypositive.ca to learn more about our amazing
friend, as well as a wealth of HIV/AIDS information and resources.
Never surrender Bradford!

Our friend
Scott:
It is my hope and
goal to address the social stigma that is associated with AIDS. To
let people know that those of us living with HIV/AIDS are normal
people, more importantly, normal people that need friends, and even
love.... just like anyone else. Heaven knows I could use some, and
so could all of us living with the disease. How bout you? Wanna be
friends with Scott? Please help to
support Scott's incredible grassroots efforts to inspire, educate
and fundraise. Please visit:

Thank you Scott for your courageous efforts in the
fight against HIV/AIDS!

HIV/AIDS affects us all
and infects over 1 million Americans and 1 in 4 of those
infected with HIV/AIDS do not know it.

Twenty six years into the
AIDS epidemic, the United
States still has no comprehensive
strategic plan to bring
down HIV incidence, increase
access to HIV care, and
reduce racial disparities
in the epidemic. The
wealthiest nation in the
world is failing its own
people in responding to
the AIDS epidemic at home:
the number of annual
new
HIV infections has not fallen
in 15 years and, as of 2002,
an estimated half of
people
living with HIV/AIDS were
not in care. African
Americans represent 13%
of the population but nearly
half of all new
HIV infections.
The next President of the
United States must develop
a results-oriented National
AIDS Strategy designed to
improve the outcomes of
our national response to
AIDS.
