fighting ignorance and disease
most of my post are lighthearted. i tend to stay away from heavy rants, i'll leave that to the professional. so this is more of a public service announcement. for the past few years i've been working around the issues of hiv and aids. i try not to overwhelm friends and readers with political messages or bash them over the head with facts and scare tactics (ok with the exception of the std picture flip book by which some of you have been victimized). i do just want to make a short plug for a feature presentation that frontline, pbs has put together. watch the preview. then watch the show, may 30 & 31. and if anyone has tivo or a dvr, please record it for me. better yet, if anyone can put it on a dvd for me. i'll be your bff (unless i already am, then just do it because you heart me). 1 out of every 370 people in the u.s. is hiv positive

yay for posting! I think you should post more politically charged blogs. I also think that more people should be forced to see the lovely std flipbook.
Although I'm almost positive that I can say I'm the only freshman to ever have an std flipbook on their bookshelf in their dorm room.
isn't like 1 out of every 6 or 7 people have a STD, scary stuff, people's ignorance is even scarier, thanks for doing your little part to change that
Here's another one specific to NC...
Subject: UNC-TV's HIV/AIDS Documentary
Mark your calendars! UNC-TV's documentary on the HIV/AIDS epidemic in North Carolina - The New Age of HIV/AIDS - will air on Tuesday, May 23 at
9 p.m. This one-hour program, which has been two years in the making, takes a broad look at the epidemic in our state: Who is most at risk, and why? What are at-risk populations doing to educate and protect themselves? What are the challenges and obstacles to providing care for people living with HIV/AIDS? We also look at cutting-edge research happening here in North Carolina, and we see how the face of the epidemic has changed dramatically in 25 years. I invite you to watch the program, and please tell your colleagues and friends about it. We also plan an extensive and interactive web presence to support the on-air program.
Please visit www.unctv.org/aids
on or after May 23 for expanded interviews from the program, answers to frequently asked questions about HIV/AIDS, a list of statewide links and resources, podcasts of the program, and much more.
