Havana observes World AIDS Day


Dec. 1st is the official World AIDS Day. For the 2009 campaign, the theme is “Universal Access and Human Rights”. In the words of the UNAIDS Executive Director, Michel Sidibé, “that means doing everything we can to support countries to reach their universal access goals for HIV prevention, treatment, care and support – all the while protecting and promoting human rights”. Data gathered until 2009 indicates that new HIV infections have been reduced by 17% since 2001. On the other hand, there are more people, about 33.4 million, living with HIV than ever before. Those two figures are probably related to the same cause: universalization – of prevention methods (which reduced the infections) and of treatment (which made people live longer).

On this Dec. 1st, the Havana Boys would like to commemorate World AIDS Day by reminding people of the importance of fighting both HIV and the prejudice around it. Actually, it is our belief that fighting prejudice also emcompasses giving the right information about it (and helping to prevent new infections) and recognizing the rights of those infected with HIV – the right to be treated and to fully participate in their communities.

It is just a small contribution, but a freebie by Havana will be given at three different parties in Second Life on this World AIDS Day. You can get your “Fight HIV & Prejudice Jeans” at the Sky Beach party, from 12 a.m to 2 p.m. SL time, at the 80’s in Un

s” at the Sky Beach party, from 12 a.m to 2 p.m. SL time, at the 80’s in Undies Party, at Gay World, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. SL time, or, after that, at the Sky Ranch party
As part of our observance of World AIDS Day and AIDS awareness, Havana will also be taking part in the Stamp Out AIDS hunt from Dec. 1 to Dec. 31 (visit our store at The Gayborhood). Each of the 182 participating vendors will have a freebie in their shop; the giver is an AIDS ribbon with a spinning globe. Each vendor will also have a donation kiosk (a larger AIDS ribbon); all monies donated here will go to Bronx AIDS Services. The starting point for the hunt is here (ATTENTION: we have originally given the wrong slurl for the starting point; the slurl is correct now). Later, we will post further on the hunt and the Havana gift for it.

  1. All thanks to Dr. UTU if not for him I don't know what will have become of me today. I married my husband who was HIV positive like myself. We accepted it as fate since there is no cure. Two years after our marriage my life was torn apart when our family doctor diagnosed me of genital herpes virus I know it was from my ex whom I have dated years back. I became very worried because I don't know what will be my husband judgment when he finds out. I searched everywhere both on internet for cure but no success until my husband started suspecting but still he wasn't sure. I don't want to loose my marriage I prayed everyday with hope that there is a cure. I searched without rest blogs, websites, everything google says about herpes and cure and peoples comments one evening after work I was surfing the internet on herpes cure I saw a friend who was giving testimony on how DR. UTU have helped cured her of her herpes virus I immediately contacted her to confirm if her testimony was real. She told me it was. She also told me about African Herbs and Herbalist and Dr Utu. She then gave me Dr. Utu contact, which I contacted him immediately. He told me about his Herbal Medicines and how he has helped many people get healthy with fruits and vegetables and also cured many with his Roots and traditional Herbs, I was interested. He prepared and sent me Herbal medicine for both HERPES & HIV through DHL I used this medicines for both HERPES and HIV carefully as was prescribed by him for 1week and 4days without my husband notice. I waited for a month then went for medical test in a different hospital and I was both herpes and HIV negative I felt reborn. I showed my husband my result and told him everything including DR UTU. He contacted DR UTU who also sent him HIV Herbal Medicine. He used this Medicines for just 8days, then we both went to our family doctor who confirmed my husband HIV negative and me still negative. Our family doctor, Dr Paul is a good Christian and often advice his patients to use natural remedy. Based on confidential he do introduce some of his patients to DR UTU for Herbal cure. If you are sick and want the right Herbal Medicine contact DR UTU on drutuherbalcure@gmail.com.
