I have made many wonderful friends in the past two years and have been fortunate to learn the life-stories of some amazing people and their efforts to end the stigma of HIV/AIDS around the world. I am truly grateful to the contributors and hosts who have blessed my life with their kindness and encouragement. I hope that you will continue to blog about HIV/AIDS and keep alive the spirit of the ICP. I am very proud of our efforts and the outcome that you see on this site today. I will leave the ICP homepage available for people to access in the future, but there will be no further editions after June, ...

I will get the site repaired as soon as possible with all links included. For now, most of the links are intact, but graphics and text have been lost.

This includes every human being on the planet Earth. The intent of this carnival is to provide an international forum for interaction among those of us who are living with HIV/AIDS and for their caregivers, family and/or friends or those who are involved in the fight to end this Worldwide pandemic.It is not intended to provide a forum for debate over the current model of HIV as a cause of AIDS. If you wish to pursue this topic, please find another forum of like-minded bloggers. This is also not a forum for medical advice, per se. Your doctor is the best person who can offer medical advice. Articles that advocate changes to your medical regimen must include a disclaimer for consultation with your medical professi...

For many living in the world of HIV/AIDS, our voices have been silenced by fear, anxiety, social stigma and threats of death or injury. Now more than ever, we need to speak out and let the world hear our voices. As mass-media focuses on the successes of new drug therapies for this illness, they seem to forget that the keystone to stopping the spread of HIV and AIDS is frank and clear education about transmission modes, discussion of the behaviors that do and do not put human beings at risk and compassion for those who are infected. Now, as wars rage and attention is forced away from our medical and social needs, we need to raise a chorus of voices to remind the world that o...

All of the work for the ICP is based on the idea of volunteerism. It is, in fact, a social experiment of sorts to show that through compassion and generosity, we can all gain more than what we put into life. If we care, we can make things happen on an international grassroots level without need for financial gain. If we simply take that first step of sharing, how powerful can we be? I hope that you will consider conquering fear. I hope that you can help us face our lives as the opportunities to promote compassion that they are. Isn't that a better option than succumbing to our multi-culture of fear and stigma. We all need inspiration. Will ...

The primary benefit to you is an increase in traffic to your blog. Secondary benefits include increased networking with people within your community and increased understanding, empathy and compassion for others. For those of us living with HIV/AIDS, the process can leave us feeling more connected, less isolated and more a part of a vibrant, warm and loving community. Lastly, we learn that we share many things in common across the world. Most importantly, we have a forum for spreading our messages about living with HIV/AIDS in a realistic, non-media/non-pharmaceutical-marketing way.When I have worked with other Carnivals, I have seen dramat...
