HIV: Our Responsibilities.
Manual.
Positive Now.
Abstract
Three decades after the first
campaigns to raise awareness about
AIDS, many people living with HIV
still feel silenced, isolated, judged,
fearful, and excluded. Three decades
after the first campaigns to raise
awareness about HIV, people still
hold prejudices that stem from their
ignorance and lack of education
about HIV. This document invites
all of us to reflect on our own
responsibilities in relation to HIV
and to people living with HIV. It is
estimated by the European Centre
for Disease Prevention and Control
that around 30% of people living
with HIV in Europe are unaware of
their status. Many people still don’t
understand that being HIV positive
is not the same thing as having
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome), and that it does not
mean that one’s condition will
necessarily progress to AIDS. Still all
of us, whether living with HIV or not,
want to belong and be treated as
equal members of our society.
