Today is World AIDS Day. In the interest of promoting HIV/AIDS awareness, especially as this pandemic impacts on the world's women, here are some notable gems:
1. "Maati" Music Video - As part of their "What Kind of Man are You?" campaign, the human rights feminist organization, Breakthrough, produced this music video to promote HIV/AIDS awareness among married women in India, a group that is now the most at risk worldwide for the disease, even more so than sex workers.
2. Yesterday - driving the point home further (the at-risk status of married women worldwide) is this South African feature film from 2004, directed by Darrell Roodt and starring Leleti Khumalo (of Sarafina! fame), which dramatizes the events surrounding a poor, rural South African wife and mother, who struggles to stay alive while dying of AIDS in order to see her young daughter start school. Here's the trailer:
3. Steps for the Future - Do not miss out on the 25-volume video series from California Newsreel, set in Southern Africa, the epicenter of the global AIDS crisis, which explores personal stories of those most impacted by the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
4. In the Continuum - this transnational play, co-written by up-and-coming playwrights Danai Gurira and Nikkole Salter, explores the lives of two young HIV+ women, one living in Los Angeles, the other living in South Africa. Debuting in 2006, this theatrical production went on international tour last year. More Info.

This blog is really fantastic as I have gone through all the posts. I don't know why the blog mater is not interested in posting some more relative information. I request the blog mater to add some more content to this great blog. I shall link from my blogs to this blog soon.
Regarding complete cure of HIV I was simply wondering why can't we find some thing useful in this direction. Since HIV and its treatment is an important issue or information we need more specific information on this subject. I have found a nice informative guide on HIV from following URL http://www.helpcure.com/hiv/ .
This guide deals with How To Cure HIV Through herbal medicines and Holistic Treatment. Guide claims that HIV viruses can't be killed but they can be ousted out of the body cells using bio magnetic repulsion or something written. You can verify the guide by downloading that for free. for this site. I dreamt of a HIV free world after reading this guide.
Hope that you will add more free information to the comment boxes to let other people read about this interesting subjects.
God bless you all-
