The national HIV/AIDS strategy to be developed by Jeffrey Crowley, director of the Office of National AIDS Policy, within the next year is “long overdue and desperately needed,” a Gainesville Guardian editorial states. This “national strategy being crafted for the president must include efforts to destigmatize the disease and to get people tested and into treatment,” the editorial adds, continuing, “HIV testing must become a routine part of medical care (akin to testing for diabetes, for instance).” In addition, “Work with African-American civic organizations to stress the importance of testing and treatment must be accelerated. But none of this will work if all people from all ages and backgrounds don’t know or refuse to learn their HIV status,” according to the Guardian (8/6).

The Western North Carolina AIDS Project recently launched a media campaign that seeks to raise awareness about the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS and its effect on those living with the virus, as well as the community, the Asheville Citizen-Times reports. The “I Need You to Know” campaign, which will include a set of commercials featuring area residents talking about HIV/AIDS, will serve as a starting point for other prevention efforts (Boyd, Asheville Citizen-Times, 6/3).
