Today, marking the 20th annual World AIDS Day, we’re preparing for the final event in our co-hosted HIV and AIDS season at the Frontline Club in London. A panel discussion “Have we seen the worst” featuring Robin Shattock, Michael Bartos, Anton Kerr and Thandi Haruperi and introduced by BBCWST Asia Director Caroline Howie, is being streamed live online, and you will be able to watch a recording here (scroll down to 1st December).
Elsewhere online, the Harvard-based Global Voices has an interesting project mapping and linking to HIV positive bloggers around the world “who bravely defy stigma and taboo to communicate their situation to the rest of the world.”
This Wednesday, 3rd December, they will also be a hosting a live chat facilitated by Kenyan bloggers Serina Kalande and Daudi Were on how to use citizen media to help improve awareness and information about the AIDS epidemic. Find out more here, and contact the editors to contribute to the map.
