Asciano Yesterday, at the Democratic Party, took an initiative organized by the Young Democrats on
AIDS infection prevention and discrimination
defeating ignorance overcome fear
Speakers included the initiative: - Dr. Angela Gonnelli, infectious diseases - Antonio Corelli, health professionals and members of the municipal district of Asciano PD - Carolina Coradeschi , GD Asciano - Laura Mannucci, GD Sinalunga and Councilor PD - Leonardo Charter, the secretary of the union local PD Asciano
The meeting was held on the actor's performance Altero Borghi.
"I am HIV positive and detained" by the performance of Altero Borghi
was also provided Alessandro Maggi, president of the Movement pansexual, but due to the postponement of the event due to bad weather, is not able to attend last night. The initiative
stems from the desire of the Young Democrats of Asciano to talk again of a topic now almost forgotten by the media. Unfortunately, AIDS is only missing from the world of communication. In the real world still exists. And last night we discovered that there is dramatically heavier in the world under 30. The
Dr. Gonnelli said transmission of HIV and AIDS in clear and understandable to all. He explained what are the reasons of infection: ONLY sexual or blood contact. It should be clarified. And told everyone. Even ignorance of these basics go discrimination. HIV NOT contracts with a hug, a greeting, with a sneeze, using the same dishes. AIDS is a disease DEMOCRATIC . Has no preference as to race, sex, age, social class, sexual orientation. To put the general problem can be counted in the three infected macro-categories: drug users, heterosexuals and homosexuals. Since the beginning of the HIV epidemic (1981 U.S.) to date the proportion of heterosexuals infected in total has increased from 20% to about 40%. All are under the sword of AIDS. Since this is a behavioral disease, it is much easier to avoid: follow simple rules of behavior, in fact, derived from those two methods of infection with the virus then protected sex (condom ! ) and avoid contact with the blood of other people (eg gloves! ). That's it. What you fail to understand, in light of numerous campaigns, is the relative increase of cases of infection and the specific case of Siena, where new cases of the last two years are ALL CHILDREN UNDER 30 YEARS . The main cause of transmission is, in these cases, sexual intercourse.
AIDES campaign Antonio Corelli told us about the issue of discrimination related to HIV but not all.
Italy needs to take a course on civil rights issues, to exit the current situation in which we are behind in Europe.
We then addressed a specific case: in Milan, in recent days, a normal donor (more than 20 donations in assets, or years) was refused because his blood homosexual. The problem here is twofold. Meanwhile
: what it means homosexual? A gay guy, who should declare his sexual orientation? Perhaps a special office "Statements homosexuality"? The police? At this point you should draw up lists so you can control who is openly homosexual and who's not. The listings lead directly to other lists, those Nazis. There were dissenters. There were Jews, deported, and marked with the double triangle to form the Star of David. There was also another list: that of homosexuals. Their symbol was a pink triangle. Like this.
We we said yesterday and I repeat it here: AIDS still exists, is terrible and new cases, especially (Esclusivamente!) among young people. But it's like an elephant frightened the mouse: just a condom to avoid it!
