“If churches can take ownership of HIV prevention and embrace a dialogue with youth and young adults, then we will see this pandemic begin to turn around.”
Yvette Highsmith Francis
“I know we only live once. But that doesn't mean live fast and die young. There is more youth six feet under! Than the elderly in nursing homes.”
Philip T. M.
“Don't grow old waiting for oppotunity, find it while you're still young.”
Richard 'Grimesy' Grimes
“With most new HIV infections occurring in youth and women, particularly in communities of color, ignoring the effectiveness of prevention programs while allowing abstinence-only programs to promote ideology over science is negligent and puts young lives on the line.”
David Harvey
“Self-examination is an important part of AIDS prevention and control. It helps HIV carriers and AIDS patients better understand their own condition so they can monitor and check the spread of the disease. This requires that AIDS counselors be well informed and equipped with good skills.”
Chen Jie
“AZT has been shown to prevent transmission of the virus to unborn children. There's always a chance that HIV won't transmit and that some of those being treated might now have contracted HIV anyway, but even if women aren't compelled to take it there's no excuse not to make it available.”
Christine Gorman
“The slow-witted approach to the HIV epidemic was the result of a thousand years of Christian malpractice and the childlike approach of the church to sexuality. If any single man was responsible, it was Augustine of Hippo who murdered his way to sainthood spouting on about the sins located in his genitals.”
