World AIDS Day - Saturday, December 1
World AIDS Day is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV. This year's theme is "Getting to zero: zero new HIV infections. Zero discrimination. Zero AIDS related deaths."
 
Zero Deaths NOT Zero Funding – Millions of Lives in the Balance
This will not happen and millions of people will die unnecessarily unless more Governments do the right thing and live up to the financial pledges they have made.
2011 saw unprecedented progress in science, political leadership and results in the AIDS response, but that now looks to be ripped apart as a major financial crisis hits the sector.
This year’s global AIDS Report demonstrates that treatment scale-up is beginning to deliver results, both in averting AIDS-related deaths (an estimated 2.5 million since 1995) and in halting new infections (at their lowest levels since 1997)
World AIDS Campaign Chair, Allyson Leacock said: “Just when we should be increasing our efforts to achieve universal access to treatment, we are tearing apart the progress made and losing momentum in the HIV response.”
 
THANKS & CONGRATULATIONS to No Ky Health & the Region 6 HIV/AIDS Case Management & Care Coordinator programs on their recently revised website!!!
As you may know; HIV/AIDS Services here in The Commonwealth are severely under-funded and under-staffed and our local Non-Profit established to assist in their efforts are MIA. In a discussion with Sr Case Manager, Paul Trickel; I learned that although they can't conduct fund-raising activities, they can be a beneficiary of them!

"The level or amount of case management is based on an evaluation of a person’s needs at any given time and can include:
short-term counseling
help in finding doctors/dentists
support groups
education about living with HIV/AIDS

The overall intent of case management is to provide you with a range of care using >existing community services< to the greatest degree possible. The goal is to help clients be as self sufficient as possible.

Depending on what a person earns from Social Security or employment, there may be financial assistance with medical, dental, and mental health needs, housing and utilities, medications, health insurance premiums, and transportation. 

If you are living with HIV/AIDS and have recently tested positive for HIV or are new to this area, use this information to acquaint yourself with our program. If possible, please download and complete the forms for new clients prior to coming for your first appointment. If you do not have access to a printer, your case manager or the intake coordinator will assist you."

HEY Northern Kentucky; how 'bout shakin' off the apathy, complacency and indifference to HIV & AIDS!? We have "AIDS fatigue" among younger people who have no memory of the worst phase of the epidem
ic in the 1980s and early 1990s, as well as condom fatigue among those who have grown tired and disillusioned with the unrelenting and sometimes unrealistic safer sex message.

 

 

MORE IDEAS FOR WORLD AIDS DAY
Incorporating HIV/AIDS programs at anytime is a good thing!
Encourage your newspaper or schools to sponsor essay or other contests.
Offer free HIV testing at a special event. Offer incentives to attend. 
Get tested yourself to set an example, or ask a local celebrity to take the test.
Ask athletic directors and coaches to encourage all student athletes to wear red AIDS awareness ribbons on their uniform jerseys.
Invite students to assist that organization. Here are some ways you can help: Students could offer their services (repairing, installing, building) to the organization. Students could sell baked goods and /or red ribbons to raise money for the organization. Any student could simply be encouraged to volunteer his/her time to work at the organization.

DEMAND MORE of our State Government, more of the HIV/AIDS Branch of the Ky Dept of Public Health and MORE of the Non-Profit Agencies & Organizations who profess a Mission to serve the HIV/AIDS Community!
