Positively Aware January/February 2008
PA Online Poll

November/December Poll Results

Do you plan to do anything special this year in commemoration of World AIDS Day?

No: 59% Yes: 41%

Comments:

  • Yes
    • Our organization is “planting” 618 red ribbons on a park hillside and walking in our city’s holiday parade in honor of those we’ve lost.
    • I plan to attend a memorial service at an organization I know nothing about in order to learn about what they do.
    • I like many others have this chronic manageable disease. I have lost many friends due to it, the OI’s and ignorance. I feel it’s my way of remembering my lost brothers and sisters worldwide!
    • We are having a World AIDS Day March, and a memorial for a local HIV/AIDS activist. We will hold a candlelight march through our community and have speakers to talk on the subject of SILENCE=DEATH.
    • I’m going to attend and volunteer at the Candlelight Vigil in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood; www.chicagoworldaidsday.com.
  • No
    • I’ll continue my education and progress towards my degree in studies of pharmacy specializing in infectious disease. I believe this is the best I can contribute toward the fight against HIV/ AIDS and to coming closer to finding a cure. If not in my lifetime, maybe I will have done enough to help the medical community after me to find a cure.
    • Not sure, so I said no. I do send letters to Congress from one organization, but that’s as far as I’ve gone this year so far.

January/Februray Poll Question: Do you know enough about the current classes of drugs and how they work that you feel comfortable in helping to manage your own care?
