“Stop AIDS”

hey y'all it's indigenous aids awareness week in "canada" as well as aids awareness month !! reminder that indigenous people are disproportionally affected by hiv/aids especially in rural & northern communities ! it's a time to raise awareness, share knowledge & start conversations, reduce fear & stigma, honor indigenous people living with hiv/aids, & by remembering friends, family, & community members who have passed away from hiv/aids, & support those w/ hiv/aids, especially hiv+ indigenous people !! we also disproportionally lost a lot of queer natives, especially queer native men, alongside the black community & latino community to hiv/aids during the aids epidemic in the 80's !! & it's an important time to take care of ourselves mentally, emotionally, physically & spiritually !!

listening to the wisdom & teachings that indigenous people living with hiv/aids have to offer us is essential !! please take the time to watch this Strong Medicine video where indigenous people living with hiv/aids share how culture & wellness are foundational to their treatment, HIV prevention & care, as well as how western therapies & treatments are another important element & how it's important to balance the two !! IAAW is tied closely to mmigw2s activism !! i& actually didn't know this but disabled people are disproportionally affected by hiv/aids as well !! i'll& let the pictures say the rest!!

it's highly encouraged that if anyone can provide ID's for this one for anyone with screenreaders that'd be really great !! i'll& rb those versions as as well !!

to anyone living with hiv/aids & especially to hiv+ indigenous people: i& love you SO much. we& love you SO much. & we& wish you a long happy & healthy life where you feel so much joy you feel like you're gonna burst !! your status does not define who you are !! ily !!

Not sexually active pero nagpatest pa rin. Nakahabol sa last day of operation ng LoveYourSelf this year.

At least dito may label/status ako, non-reactive.

Translation is complete.

USSR, 1980s. The Elista Children's Hospital is experiencing the country's first major HIV outbreak, with more than 70 children and several adults infected. Now everyone - doctors, patients, relatives - needs to preserve human dignity in the face of a terrible disease for which there is no cure yet.

We are very honored to have the support of Prince Harry.

Allies are so important to the HIV community and so important to help break down the stigma still associated with the virus.

a note on talking about HIV/AIDS:

if someone "died from the HIV", they died from AIDS. they did not die from HIV and it is a misnomer to say so.

HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. if left untreated, HIV always eventually causes AIDS the same way untreated syphilis always eventually gets in your brain. AIDS is a specific set of conditions that mean your immune system is not functioning and is heavily affected by HIV.

i know, it's weird, right? a little bit like naming tertiary/late-stage syphilis an entirely other thing! but the naming convention for HIV/AIDS exists because we had AIDS (and before it GRID) as a diagnosis for quite a while before scientists discovered the virus that caused it. this was directly due to homophobia & hatred of drug users; if the virus had been given the attention it needed when it emerged we'd probably not have the HIV vs AIDS distinction.

but we do, and it's important, so please know that it exists and what each word means.

thank you!!

Went on a date today with An Angel From The Bible to the art museum and they had Jordan Eagles work displayed.
