Nina Vucenik of the World Bank contacted me during the conference with a heads up that the World Bank has just released a new report on HIV/AIDS in South Asia. I haven't had the chance to look closely at it yet, but you can scope it out for yourself.

The full report

Postscript - I made it safely home from the conference, but not before getting involved in protests over hotel workers being suspended for wearing AIDS buttons and ribbons. Several of us slipped letters under the doors of hotel guests informing them of the hotel's actions against the workers. News cameras had arrived on the scene by the time we left.

Also, here is a picture of me and the other activists on stage with Tony Fauci of the NIH on Thursday. You can't see me very well, but I'm holding the green sign near the middle of the picture.

At 12:34 PM, Venus Perez said...: Greetings,

My name is Venus Perez. I am 41 years old and I am diagnosis with AIDS since 1987. I was exposed by an ex-partner who died in 1987. Many people I knew with the disease are no longer alive. 2 other people, and myself are long term survivors of this disease. Just like a person who is going through the stages of death and dying, many HIV/AIDS individuals get stuck in these stages. HIV/AIDS has changed America. For 25 year it has brought out the worst in us at first, but ultimately brought out the best, and transformed the nation. Its mark has affected our history, culture and our souls. I am presently disabled but my health has improved tremendously. I presently volunteer for The PLACE of Comfort and EASY ACCESS RESOURCE, INC., a not-for-profit agencies assisting individuals and families with food and community resource needs in crisis situations. The website is: www.placeofcomfort.org. I have recently published a book with Trafford Publishing called, "I'm Still Here" in which describes The History, Outcomes, Testimony and Strengths of people living with HIV/AIDS.

About The Author.

My reason for my letter is because your organization is always striving to give useful information to the public audience. I have used the information in this book in a recent summer series, in which, empowered many individuals and families infected and affected with this disease. Normally I would not expose my disease to the world because of the stigma that comes with it, but I want to make a difference and I want to be humble. This particular community needs so much empowerment and encouragement from a person who believes in what you teach and I would like to be an example to other people so they can benefit from the information in this book and the blessings God has shown me. I would just like to ask if you can just remember me or if you can place the information on your web site, or just pass on the information. The book will be completed in September 2006. Thru Jesus Christ, GOD has revealed to me to expect great things. A calling was place upon me to produce this book in which, I had used all my savings to produce. I proceeded to walk in faith. If this letter gets to you then God wants it to be. I am one person trying to make a difference in this community. If you would like to contact me, my information is below.

Thank you for reading my story and God bless you in all that you do.

Blessings,

Venus Perez
