By respecting and protecting ourselves and others we can stop the spread of HIV and end HIV prejudice.

5 things you can do to Respect & Pro

• Find out the facts about HIV and talk to your friends, family and colleagues about HIV – make sure they know the reality, not the myths.
• 
  
• Know your HIV status: get tested if you have put yourself at risk.
• 
  
• Talk to all new sexual partners about using condoms. Using a condom during sex (especially vaginal or anal sex) is the best way to protect yourself and your partner from HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
• 
  
• If someone tells you they are HIV positive, treat them with respect and don’t tell others without their agreement.
• 
  
• Wear a red ribbon as a symbol of your support for everyone affected by HIV, and to raise awareness.

What does Respect & Protect mean?

7th Annual Bag Ladies Luncheon benefitting Lupus

Tony Braxton @ the 7th Annual Bag Ladies Luncheon for Lupus

"Lupus is one of America's least recognized major diseases. Nearly 1.5 million Americans have lupus. In fact, more Americans have lupus than cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, sickle-cell anemia, and cystic fibrosis combined, making it one of this country's most prevalent medical problems. However, while lupus is widespread, awareness and accurate knowledge about it lag behind many other illnesses. Lupus is on the rise, and scientists don't know exactly why."




"African-American women are three times more likely to get lupus than Caucasian women and to suffer worse symptoms. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as many as one in every 250 African-American women has lupus."

The Breast Cancer Nobody Is Talking About

One virulent, fast-acting type of breast cancer attacks more than twice as many young black women as all other women.

" landmark study by researchers at the University of North Carolina-Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center in 2006 found that, remarkably, this basal-like "triple negative" subtype showed up in 39 percent of the study's premenopausal women who were African-American, compared with only 16 percent in those who weren't. A larger study published this summer in the journal Cancer confirmed that in the United States, black women overall are twice as likely to have triple negative tumors as white women. In general, this type of breast cancer has one of the worst survival rates. These findings help explain why young black women are more likely to get breast cancer early—10, 20, 30 years before menopause—and have nearly double the odds of dying from it. "

Combo vaccine reduces risk of HIV infection, researchers say

"A vaccine to prevent HIV infection, the virus that leads to AIDS, has shown modest results for the first time, researchers have found, raising hopes that a disease that kills millions every year may someday be beaten."

"In what is being called the world's largest HIV vaccine trial ever -- involving more than 16,000 participants in Thailand -- researchers found that people who received a series of inoculations of a prime vaccine and booster vaccine were 31 percent less likely to get HIV, compared with those on a placebo." read more info here

Health: What is Pancreatic Cancer?

Pancreas cancer, or pancreatic Aden carcinoma, occurs when there is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the pancreas that forms a mass or a tumour. It is the deadliest solid organ tumour with fatality rates approaching 100%. Because the pancreas lies deep within the abdomen it is difficult for a doctor to feel a pancreatic tumour during an examination. Pancreatic cancer has no early warning signs and no effective screening or early detection tests. As a result, cancer is rarely discovered until it has metastasized and spread to other organs. The majority of patients diagnosed with this disease are older than 60 years of age (80%). Unfortunately pancreatic cancer can occur in younger people, especially those who have a family history.

ALDO Fights AIDS tote bags for only $10! Net proceeds go to support YouthAIDS

By purchasing a tote for only $10, you will help provide one young person with the information and tools he or she needs to be protected from HIV for up to one year. 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of the totes will go to help fund YouthAIDS programs in South Africa and worldwide. Click here to purchase.

For the 2009 ALDO Fights AIDS (AFA) campaign ALDO has pledged to help raise money to support YouthAIDS initiatives in South Africa.

Why South Africa? With 5.7 million HIV-infected individuals, South Africa is one of the countries most affected by HIV. About 1,000 new infections occur each day, and approximately 350,000 AIDS-related deaths occur annually. There are approximately 3.8 million children who have lost one or both parents.

Why YouthAIDS? In spite of these staggering statistics, there is hope. Infection rates among young people are declining and programmes such as YouthAIDS are making a real difference. YouthAIDS, an education and prevention programme of PSI, uses media, pop culture, music, theatre, and sports to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS and reach 600 million young people in more than 60 countries with life-saving messages, products, services, and care.

YouthAIDS programme in South Africa is currently working in nine cities across the country. With more than 180 peer educators, the programme aims to create role models for healthy behaviour and influence group norms. Youth peer educators spread the message of responsible sexual behaviour through a variety of venues including debates at schools, parent-child workshops, street campaigns, community centres, transportation hubs, and radio talk shows.
