*edit- cleaned up the text...it didn't need it (dunno why I put it in) and added a watermark, I so wanna enter this for an annual N.I.F.C.A competition here

this is one photo I feel so strongly about, I had taken this a good time back with my sister's help, when an idea suddenly popped into my head and I was driven to go try it, and today I thought it could be put to great use for the HIV/AIDS awareness month to come (the quality of the photo isn't that great to me, forgive me but I had to put up what I thought might be a great message for people and help others learn about the awareness of HIV/AIDS) and I will try to retake a proper photo

*edit-enhanced it a bit, the red is little more stronger and silkier

Here is a little information on HIV/AIDS extracted from wikipedia

What is HIV/AIDS?
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS or Aids) is a collection of symptoms and infections resulting from the specific damage to the immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in humans,[1] and similar viruses in other species (SIV, FIV, etc.). The late stage of the condition leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections and tumors. Although treatments for AIDS and HIV exist to slow the virus' progression, there is no known cure.

you can't get HIV/AIDS from body/physical contact with other people such as hugging, kissing, coughing or sneezing...

One thing that I'll always remember thats constantly being said, AIDS does not discriminate, it can happen to any one of us

so those who suffer from the sickness should not be isolated, we all are human with feelings and emotions...we should be treated equally

STOP the stereotypical comments and myths...
...know the FACTS!

Here is a [link] to ~mrssmithtakestheday 's journal, she and her best friend are trying to create a book about HIV/AIDS, which includes art, poetry, painting etc. Please take a look and help support them.

Please help inform others about the risk and preventions they can take to help fight AIDS!

Hi!
I'm making a school project about AIDS and HIV.
That's partly to kill those myths you talk about, and to make my class understand, how bad a disease it is, and that the victims of it need protection and help, NOT rejection and distance!
For that project, my friend and I will need a front page for the written part of the project, and your picture is kind of perfect for that, as it has the symbolism in it without having all the written stuff...
Please send me the original picture, if it is okay with you (of course)! It would be a great help for my project!

MomijiChan07 In reply to FaMz [2010-01-28 03:46:28 +0000 UTC]

Yep. People think that they can't get them and go around laying this way and that unprotected and untested. It's as if either they don't care or they think it can never happen to them. It would be better if these decisions were thought through rather than spur of the moment...

December is AIDS Awareness month, and I was wondering if you might allow me to use this in a news article in honor of this event. I'm gathering permission in advance, the news article will probably run the first week of December. Hope to hear from you soon with an answer.

maalaki-cecile In reply to FaMz [2009-06-17 15:59:06 +0000 UTC]


actually i used to have it up and then i deleted it , i have it on my usb key thing, which i need to repare though .
I made a piece of Art "free of any copyrights" /creative common for it so that people who felt touched could use them as they wanted as long as it was for the cause
i may say that i've actively particapated to some of big events for this cause and for trying to stop breast cancer too

another piece of art that i made was against all kind of violences , this piece wasn't free of copyrights or creative common or anything else than all rights copyrights , representing my face , something in my mouth , putting the colors in a way that made it think i was just beaten and captured and raped on the pic . like a prisoner or something.
i thought it could have an influence ,an inspiration on people who felt the same way or feel the same way and help them a bit to talk more about it all .

a kinda conceptualizing thing if i may say so

Hi there! My name is Eliana Costa, and I'm from Portugal - Lisbon.
I'm in a school project named "Del8 - Apaga com os Objectivos do Milenio". (It's a national level project)
I wanted to know, if I can use this image.
In this project, I'm making a video in which I want to illustrate the problems in Africa - GuinΓ©, (some as hiv/aids, children mortality, etc...).
"ad Gentes - Associação Leigos MissionÑrios da Consolata" will be the only owner of the video and the copyrights, that has non-profit.
I hope that you can reply me soon... i'm in a hurry! ^^
Thanks a lot!

Powerful image!
In a similar way style-wise, I have always been a lover of ballerinas pointe shoes and I find now, that whenever I see a red pair on a dancer, I am reminded of the red ribbon theme. A little trivial thing I admit, but this image instantly reminded me of it.
