I'm in the check-out line at Dollar Tree when suddenly a little boy maybe around 7 or 8 years old, 9 at the most, yells out: "Mommy, what's that on the back of that man's head?" She looks right at me with a semi-terrified look on her face like she wants to crawl away and disappear down the aisle with all the seasonal goodies and I look at her reassuringly and nod. "It's okay", I told her. "I can handle this", I tell her as I turn and crouch just a little so I don't seem as scary to the youngster. "What does it look like?" I ask him. "Like an eight", he quips back, "but it's not all there". "What color is it?" I ask, knowing that the recently dyed bright red hue hasn't yet faded like the one before that turned pink with perfect timing for another important health cause. "Rojo!", the boy proudly exclaims. "Yes, that's right! It's red and it's in the shape of a ribbon", I said. "Do you know what it means?", I continue. "No, is it for the troops?" he answers. "Well, they are a part of it but really it's for everyone around the World", I tell him, "It's the AIDS ribbon and I have it there to remind people that it's still out there and to be careful, to protect themselves and watch out for other people they care about". He grins as the cashier signals me that I'm next to be scanned and rung up. I turn to the boy's mother and say: "Now it's in your hands to make sure he gets the correct information so he doesn't become infected, like I did." "Bless you, and thank you for doing what you're doing", she says. "Now I don't have to worry and stress out about how I'm going to bring it up to talk to him about it. And take care of yourself, okay? I'll be praying for you!" she says as my dollar items get added up one-by-one and I fumble for my wallet. "Thanks, and let's hope they do a better job than we've done", I say to her as the cashier laughs when she notices the image on my credit card is of me grinning and standing next to my 4th Avenue Underpass portrait project tile. "We owe it to them to stop the spread", I say loudly as I grab my bags and head out the door, smiling because I'm happy that I may have just saved a life or two by dyeing a red ribbon on the back of my ultra-bleached blonde head (end)

A person who is at high risk of acquiring the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) must learn how to defend himself from the virus. It is necessary to know that you can maintain a healthy connection (and sex life) with someone who has HIV without exposing yourself to the virus.

I liked this public service ad that I saw at the Berlin Zoologischer Garten train station. "Gummi, Bärchen!" literally means "Rubber, bears!" "Mach's mit" means "Join in."
As part of a series of demonstrations for better AIDS funding and healthcare, the Women's Coalation of ACT UP Chicago organized a street sit in to protest the inablility of women with AIDS to get treatment at the Cook County hospital AIDS ward. The problem was corrected and women with AIDS were admitted to Cook County hospital shortly after this demonstration, which disrupted traffic in Chicago for several hours. Women sat on mattresses, symbolising the lack of beds available to women at the hospital as other protestors surrounded them with banners on white sheets, symbolising a make-shift AIDS ward for women in the street.
April 23 1990 Chicago, national ACT-UP Demonstration
April 23 1990 Chicago, national ACT-UP Demonstration
An unidentified woman sitting on a mattress in the street is arrested by a Chicago police officer after refusing to move during a protest regarding the lack of health care facilities for women with AIDS in the Chicago Cook County Hospital. Prior to this demonstration, the hospital had no provision for treating women with AIDS. A number of women from several ACT UP chapters occupied the street in front of the Cook County building in Chicago, constructing a temporary "AIDS Ward" for women with mattresses, surrounded by "walls" made of sheets held by other protestors. The successful protest resulted in a policy change for the hospital. ACT UP often used non violent civil disobedience (and the resulting arrests) to generate press attention to their cause.
The Chicago police, afraid and uneducated about how AIDS is transmitted, normally wore gloves while arresting anyone involved in an ACT UP protestor.
