The focus on this 20th anniversary is how the response to AIDS has greatly changed, some for the positive, but an anniversary provides an opportunity to highlight how much more still needs to be done. Take the Test. Take Control. A unique campaign has been developed using text messaging to promote HIV testing. Mobile phone users can send a text message with their zip code to “KNOWIT” (566948).

I still clearly remember when I first started paying serious attention to HIV/AIDs.  It was in the mid-1980s and I had just finished reading a great educational brochure focusing on the disease.  I decided to read the pamphlet because I was very confused and needed some unbiased and accurate information about the condition. In those days there was a lot of confusion about the HIV.  Would kissing someone spread HIV, many wondered.  What about sharing utensils or living in the same home or apartment?  Uncertainty and fear caused many unfortuante problems. There was also the problem of prejudice and ...

As we writers sit at our computers, composing thoughts to provoke the thinking and compassion of others, millions of men, women, and children on several continents fight for their lives and their rights to a safe home, free from fear and persecution.For as long as human beings have engaged in battle and warfare, displaced persons have wandered the earth in search of a home. Recently, tens of thousands of refugees within the Democratic Republic of Congo have fled refugee camps due to increased fighting and direct attacks on refugee camps, possibly due to ethnic or religious differences. The Congolese people have suffered for decades, and there is no end in sight to their contin...

But because I was busy and lazy, I forgot to do my homework. Hopefully, by reposting the badge as a reminder to those who m...

On May 15, bloggers are challenged to harness the power of blogging to make this world better, even by the most simple means.  Bloggers Unite is an initiative of the blogging community (particularly the Blog Catalog Community) to use blogging as a tool to spread awareness that everyday, in many parts of the world, basic Human Rights are being violated.  Bloggers are also...
