Campaign against AIDS prejudice

by Andy on May 15, 2004

The BBC reports the launch of a new nationwide campaign to educate people about HIV and AIDS. The focus is on combating people’s prejudices. Because…

…in a poll conducted for the campaign, almost 70% of those surveyed in Moscow said they felt fear, anger or disgust towards people living with the virus.

The message of this campaign is knowledge, and tolerance.

“People among us are living with HIV”, the new television advert explains, “but we can still talk to them and work together: we can still be friends.”

About bloody time.
