This work marked a pivotal moment in the group’s practice: their engagement with the HIV/AIDS crisis at a time when the illness was a taboo subject and highly stigmatized. The painting appropriates American Pop and artist Robert Indiana’s LOVE motif (1964), substituting L-O-V-E with A-I-D-S. Produced for a fundraiser at Koury Wingate Gallery in New York, it was a the first of many AIDS works to follow.
"We Know that to Err is Human, but the HIV/AIDS Hypothesis is One Hell of a Mistake. I Say this Rather Strongly as a Warning. Duesberg Has Been Saying It for a Long Time. Read this Book"
Kary B. Mullis
Nobel Prize in Chemestry , 1993
Sabemos que Equivocarse es de Humanos, pero la Hipotesis del SIDA/VIH es un Error Endiablado. Prefiero Decir Esto Fuertemente como una Advertencia. Duesberg lo ha Venido Diciendo por Mucho Tiempo. Lee Este Libro "

Premio Nobel de Quimica, 1993
The idea of this exhibitaion was wonderful, every body is given a head set..you listen to the story of a girl who comes from a family in india, both parent are diagnozed with AIDs, while you are walking tru her home and country so the story really touches you..
p.s: These notes are dedicated to people who are dealing with HIV or AIDS..guess which one is mine?

This installation deliberately engulfs us: its high-contrast graphics seem to move before our eyes, producing a dizzying field of colours. Steering away from their classic palette of red, blue and green, General Idea experimented with alternate colour combinations in these three paintings. The canvasses are installed over the group’s AIDS Wallpaper – a work whose repetitive pattern references the replication of the HIV virus.
The AIDS Memorial in Barbara Hall Park is a tribute to people from our local community who have died of an AIDS-related illness. The Memorial counters the silence, denial, isolation and rejection that are often connected with AIDS. This is a place to grieve those who are gone, to celebrate their lives and courage, and to take pride in our response to AIDS.
Young children with face paintings pose for a photo during the World AIDS Day awareness programme. World AIDS Day, celebrated annually on December 1, is an opportunity for people around the world to unite in the fight against HIV, to show support for people living with HIV/Aids and to be united.

In her African village 65% of the adults had AIDS and over 100 children were orphans from death of their parents. She was nurse, mother, father, angel.
We tend to forget things unless we are reminded sometimes. In my mad search to find something to photograph today, I came across this little red rubber ribbon in the junk drawer. As my fingers brushed across the surface I was reminded of a few things. It didn't remind me of AIDS, I am reminded of that everyday I wake up and see my partner who does. What it reminded me of are all the things I hear from other people.
"I hear they are close to a cure"
Not really. I've heard that since the early 90's.
"Does anybody really die of AIDS anymore"
Everyday
"With all the medication they have now, people with AIDS live happy productive lives."
The medication is harsh and relentless sometimes. The side effects can be truly horrible, making holding a steady job almost impossible sometimes. It can also be crippling or deadly in it's own right.
"If you are insured, how can AIDS be such a hardship"
It's called co-payments. Doctor visits $30, 15 to 20 prescribtions a month ranging from $10 to $60 each, guess what end of that spectrum the majority are on.
"I don't know anybody who has "AIDS" or is effected by it."
Yes, you do.
Then I was reminded of the things people don't know. People don't know what it is like to walk into the living room to find there husband or wife lying on the couch, hoping they are asleep and not dead because they accidentally took too much of the wrong medication. Not once in awhile, but a couple times a week. They don't know what it's like to fight every month with the insurance company over approving the same damn medication that you have been using for the last eight years.
I was reminded of all this in fraction of a second as my fingers brushed across this tiny red rubber ribbon that I have no clue where I got. So I decided, this is what I would photograph for today. I would photograph it and post it for the challenge for all to see and hope with all my heart that you don't forget.
This truly is a better shot on black

2700 names and more continue to be added, each year. Too many people have died from this disease.

.....1 Dicembre, si celebra la 26esima Giornata Mondiale contro l’AIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Solo in Italia ci sono più di 165.000 persone affette dal virus dell’Hiv. E, a quanto pare, l’informazione scarseggia. La maggior parte dei giovani considera infatti il preservativo un fastidio, un qualcosa di opzionale che limita il piacere durante un rapporto sessuale. Eppure è l’unico comportamento corretto da assumere per sentirsi al riparo da rischi, a meno che non si voglia scegliere di astenersi dai rapporti..........
RICORDA ANKE..........DONA 1€ al 45590 X LE POPOLAZIONI SICILIANE COLPITE DALLE ALLUVIONI DEL 22 NOVEMBRE 2011......... IL TUO KARMA NE GIOVERA'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Existem cerca de 40 milhões de portadores do HIV no mundo, dos quais 70% estão na África. Em um total de 28 milhões.
A Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU), estima que em 2006 o Brasil possuía cerca de 620 mil soropositivos, dos quais 66% não sabem que são portadoras do vírus.
A AIDS mata 30 brasileiros por dia. Por ano, o HIV causa a morte de 11 mil pessoas no país.
Não queira estar nessas estatísticas. "A vida é mais forte que a AIDS".
PROTEJA-SE! Use camisinha em suas relações sexuais. Usar drogras é se expor ao HIV. Pense bem antes de usar, antes de injetar e antes de compartilhar seringas. CUIDE-SE!
Depoimento de Valéria Polizzi. Escritora (e jornalista) brasileira que convive com o vírus do HIV há anos e nunca perdeu a esperança e a vontade de viver. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1FuFktswlk&feature=related

" Parlare di omosessualità nella giornata mondiale contro l'AIDS porterebbe ad insinuarsi in discorsi sulla disattenzione calata progressivamente su questa malattia... di come possa essere dilaniante affrontare una malattia che distrugge il corpo, l'anima e per cui si viene discriminati, di come possa essere frustrante leggere il giudizio delle persone nei loro occhi, di come possa essere avvilente sentire di non essere liberi di parlarne.
... Le cose sono scomode fintanto che si sente la necessità di nasconderle. Sforzatevi, sforziamoci di ignorare i pregiudizi degli altri e di non averne noi stessi. La sincerità su chi siamo è l'unica strada per la felicità, che siate etero, gay, bisessuali, genitori, figli, impiegati, banchieri, fruttivendoli, suore, politici, sposati, amanti, dark, emo, bohemienne o punk. Poco importa se questa onestà riguarda gusti sessuali, una malattia, una passione inconfessabile, una doppia vita, se c'è qualcosa che vorreste dire, fatelo, spogliatevi dalla paura del giudizio e dell'accettazione, non è facile e neppure indolore, ma sarà come se quel macigno che ci portiamo appresso da una vita, si fosse sciolto in una cascata di piume che si lasciano trasportare via dal vento, lasciando solo una cosa: Voi."

INFORMAZIONI E PRECAUZIONI PER L'UTENTE: NO IPOCRISIA !

Both these kids have AIDS. The little one can't walk because he's so weak. His elder brother carries him. When I met this family, their father was at end stage, receiving palliative care. He has to be lifted by his wife, who is also sick. They are desperately poor and cannot afford medicine, instead relying on outreach programs. They're all going to die, condemned by a vicious disease.
Yet another conceptual try.
Evidently, the red towel explains the symbolic red ribbon of the Aids awareness ribbon. With a dimly lit face, it represents a stranger , what lies within will never show and one should never practice promiscuity.
Be faithful to your spouse, keep yourself safe, keep others likewise. Practice safe sex and prevent the spread of Aids/HIV.
