Media
Action ON HIV/AIDS
People
infected with HIV are no different from anyone else, only that they
have been infected with a virus! Recognizing this can end judgment!
Or, are we to become a society which stigmatizes, discriminates and
ignores the sick?
How
foolish it is to judge what should instead be the need to recognize
those who are in need of help and our need to give help.
This
stigma and discrimination created around HIV and AIDS is the insane
idea people have that they are separate from those infected. This is
the insane idea that threatens society! And anything that threatens
society should not be neglected. It should be given priority!
We
must stop the interference caused by discrimination and what will
happen if we simply refuse to recognize again and again, the needs
of those suffering from illness and disease!
Only
then is it possible to look and see what must be done!
I
urge the media/reporters, to make HIV in the news a priority! It is
the responsibility of each you (I feel the need to say demand, but I
will use the word convince) to convince the owners and publishers of
news programming, newspapers and magazines to meet the world needs
for HIV education.
If
you accept this challenge and accept the idea of making room for
change in the number of articles published on HIV and AIDS, we will
all experience its affects!
I
am counting on your persistence and the change it will inevitably
bring! The power of change is never recognized if it is not in
place!
