Has HIV impacted on you?

Has HIV impacted on you?

The AIDS Trust of Australia still needs extras for its new national television campaign for World AIDS Day on 1 December.

The public service announcements on TV, in magazines and online will focus on the impact HIV has on family and friends, AIDS Trust CEO Nick Toonen revealed.

The campaign asks people to buy red ribbons locally or to donate through the AIDS Trust website.

But they’re still looking for people who are friends with someone with HIV/AIDS to feature in the print component. The volunteers need to be based in Sydney with a range of experiences, backgrounds and ethnicities.

  1. James, if you’re being genuine and I think you are, you can get just as much info on the net as anywhere else. ACON is a good place to start. If you’re not being genuine then it’s a pretty unfair thing to say. And you’ve probably heard that the majority of people that get it are drug addicts and homo’s is because we like to share fluids ;)….I can’t speak for drug addicts though, you’ll have to ask one…

  2. Can someone please supply me with demographic statistics about AIDS in Australia? As a casual observer, it seems to me that the overwhelming majority of people that get it are drug addicts and homosexuals.

  3. Hiv/Aids has affected our lives to such an extent that we have devoted our lives to educating Australians about it.
    To date we have educated over 200,000 Australians and been invited into 120 schools.Our story is on our website with full list of schools visited and references from teachers.
    We receive no funding and rely on schools to fundraise for us in order to continue and expand our Hiv/Aids education campaign in Australia.We believe education saves lives and that Australians are more aware of the effect of Hiv/Aids in third world countries than in Australia.From our experience it is evident that most Australians do not see themselves at risk because they have not been educated as to the methods of transmission and bodily fluids involved in the transmission of this virus.Hiv/Aids education needs more publicity.
