Happy fifth anniversary to the Caribbean Broadcast Media Partnership on HIV/AIDS and its Live Up Team! Thank you and congratulations on an inspiring World AIDS Day 2011 and CBMP Leaders’ Summit. Now Katrina focuses on the new challenge that lies ahead: Getting to ZERO by 2015. Zero AIDS deaths, zero new infections & zero transmissions [...]

A new campaign, a new look and new track stars to endorse Live Up! Katrina talks about what the new year brings in the countdown to World AIDS Day, December 01, 2011! Veronica Campbell Brown — Yohan Blake — Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce –

What do you think of our campaigns? Have they worked? Is your thinking and behaviour changing because of them? We want to know.

You CANNOT contract HIV by touching, hugging or being in close contact with someone who has the virus. Another heartbreaking news headline that leaves Katrina in tears… Even as we Live Up! Stigma & Discrimination are alive and well.

Global funding for HIV & AIDS and other causes is shifting and shrinking amid a recession that just won’t quit. What does that mean for you? Think you can just shrug it off? No chance. This week Katrina talks about personal responsibility and how its more connected to international donors than you’d think.

Contracting HIV isn’t the end of the story. Healthy sexual practices should continue after a positive result to avoid the risk of reinfection… as Katrina found out after viewing a Grenadian HIV reality show.
