World AIDS Day 2006 HD
Marks my one year anniversary of painting solely for HIV charity. Dec 1 also marked the 25th birthday of HIV.
The International theme this year is "Stop Aids, Keep the promise." [link]
Remember those we have lost, and do what you can to help those that are suffering and, or without. May everyone have a safe and healthy holiday season!

As a RN and Poz mentor, as a person infected with HIV...how interesting it is that the theme for this year..."Keeping the promise". Now, somehow applies with the ability to upload into the World AIDS day contest. Could it be missing infra-structure and saturated with ignorance like the areas devastated by AIDS? <analogy>
I am in shock at the amount of people that think the "ignorance" now associated with HIV is in HOW you get it? It doesn't matter HOW you get it, much like the ignorance that surrounds it. Its about how YOU manage it, which requires education and response. Unfortunately, people are STILL throwing rocks, as others stand in line for their meds.
<The one thing that will stop the progression and stay the virus.>
Know the ignorance is about how we treat the disease and the people that are affected/infected by it. These hate ridden remarks. The FEAR of being treated "differently". Hate Is the real killer.
As frustrating as the contest submisson appeared to effect people personally. I am sure that the "cure" of this glitch on dA will come long before the one for AIDS.
In my heart of hearts I know that "Hate" is a disease far worse than the HIV virus, worse than AIDs and untreatable with meds. Those we hate learn to hate themselves and the cycle continues. The cross-infection complete. The bible can't seem to even help those that hold it...or wave it. The hate consumes them. We are a modern world still trying to live by the Old Testament Laws.
What would Jesus do?
That's a good question....Think Mary at the well, or the lepers....Jesus spat on no one...Instead of looking at the bible as a list of things NOT to do...could you perhaps see it as a list of things TO do?
Live in the New Testament not the old.
<thats why its new>
Glitches and ignorance still kills people EVERY day!
"Stop hate", "Stop aids...Keep the promise! "
Take this time and this experience and hold your local, state and federal Governments accountable...contact them about their AIDs promises to foreign lands and here at home, as they continue to cut funding and promote war, and loss of young HEALTHY life. Jesus would not let this happen. Abstinence is not treatment! Take your hands from your face....let THEM hear your voice! Be part of a modern miracle! The end of hate and the end of AIDS.
Be accountable!
