AIDS Hasn’t Kicked the Bucket Yet

November 21, 2007

20071121_fry_320x240.jpgNope. It’s still a horrible reality. And not just for people in other countries. That’s why it’s necessary for a reminder. Saturday, December 1st is World AIDS Day.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the United States alone there are over one million people living with HIV. An estimated 40,000 Americans are still becoming infected with the HIV virus ever year; a majority of these are young people under the age of 25. Globally, the epidemic has taken the lives of over 25 million people.

In the spirit of ongoing education and recognition of the continuing epidemic, there will be a plethora of TV programs, both fictional and non, airing that weekend. So give yourselves and your friends a kick in the pants by watching one of the many shows that will be airing.

Highlights include:
“Stephen Fry: HIV & Me” – December 1st at 1 pm on the Sundance Channel.
(If only every documentary included Stephen Fry, we’d watch way more of them.)

“It’s My Party” - December 1st at1 pm on LOGO
(Our favorite movie to exorcise that brewing crying jag. Best watched with friends.)

“Jeffrey” – December 1st at 7:30 pm on LOGO
(This is why we love Sigourney Weaver. Well, this and Alien.)
