Participants at the U.S. Conference on AIDS, held last week in Orlando, and the National Minority AIDS Council produced a public service announcement calling for expanded HIV prevention, testing, care, and treatment. The video supports community mobilization, but also emphasizes the steps one person can take.
"HIV may not make the headlines like it used to, but it's still a serious, incurable illness," the video production team said. "Far too many people are getting infected and far too few are getting care and treatment. Every year, over 2500 people from all fronts of the HIV epidemic gather to grapple with the pressing issues in the fight against HIV/AIDS."
Healthcare reform, ADAP waiting lists, and how to sustain a movement were among the topics discussed by conference delegates. The theme "Many Faces, One Voice" reflected the event's spirit of diversity and community.
The public service announcement, entitled "HIV: Your Move -- USCA 2010," can be viewed on YouTube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeC5prY1PhU.
