World AIDS Day: Get (RED)!


By Sama Team | December 1, 2009


In September we posted: Buy (RED) Save Lives – JoinRED Fight AIDS, then in November: Twitter Sunday: Favorites Tweets @joinred. Today, December 1st, is World AIDS Day and today, more than ever, we have to work together because 'AIDS is preventable and treatable'.

We will not give you numbers, you can find them everywhere on the Internet. We will not tell you what you have to do. But today is a special day, so at least once in a year, maybe we should take our responsabilities and do something. Protect ourselves and the others. Give a hand and don't look away.

The Lazarus Effect is the title of the video published by Join(RED). 'The miraculous power of AIDS medicine to give people the opportunity of a future where once there was no hope.  3800 people die everyday from a preventable and treatable disease: AIDS. Treatment costs around 40 cents a day. The results are nothing short of miraculous. Someone on death's door can be brought back to life. In as little as 90 days. This transformation is called the Lazarus Effect.'

Remember: Buy (RED) Save Lives, it's really working. Buy Red products from top brands, and help fight aids in Africa. Use the consumeristic society we all live in to buy 'useful', it can do good!

It costs around 40 cents a day for the 2 pills that are needed to help keep someone with HIV alive

Shame on us if you don’t help those people!!

I think too many people think they are safe and will never get iads, but they’re wrong, nobody’s safe without condoms!

Use them…

Statistics in the UK:

More than 85,000 people are living with HIV in the UK

Over a quarter of people with HIV in the UK are undiagnosed

About two thirds of people living with HIV are men and a third are women

Over half of all people living with HIV are aged between 30 and 44, but there are significant numbers both of young people and older people now living with HIV

This is un-be-lie-va-ble :oops:

People at Join(RED) are right: AIDS is preventable and treatable so nobody should die of AIDS today.

But nobody cares until he/she is concerned by the disease.

It is thought that more than one million people are living with HIV in the USA and that more than half a million have died after developing AIDS.

People die everyday. We can’t prevent everyone to get a disease, AIDS, flu…Cancer. Whatever it is, we’re all going to die anyway

You are so compassionate Mark :x

Aids still kill people but some people think nobody dies from Aids anymore but numbers prove them wrong.

I will buy a (RED) product for Christmas (until I can buy a (RED) Sama) ;)

How comes we are still waiting for a vaccine???

Researchers are working to find a vaccine against AIDS for decades, why didn’t they find a way to heal people yet??

Sama Reader N’Gaye

To answer to some of you, people feel safe because they think Aids are for gays and black people. On the contrary, heterosexuals are more and more concerned by Aids, they should know that by now.

Africa has a big problem with Aids and thanks to (red) for what they do. We need all the help from everyone. The Lazarus Effect is the proof we can do something!

Sama Reader Witz

Ekachit – My best friend died because of aids.

Like N’Gaye said, my friend was not gay nor black and he got aids. He just trusted the wrong person…

Wear condoms!

Rep. to N’Gaye: don’t forget the children. They are the victims of bad behaviors.

Sama Reader Simcha

Individuals living with the virus don’t live free from discrimination. They also need our help. Everyone is so selfish nowadays…

Sama Reader Karmitto

I of course don’t agree with Mark (you’re crazy my friend) but what is true is about the many diseases existing in the world.

France has a big problem with H1 N1 flu and I’m sorry to say yesterday everyone talked more about the flu than aids…. :roll:

Sama Reader Juliette

Karmitto is right.

I heard more people complaining about how long it took to have their children vaccinated, more than how to help fighting AIDS.

I read during 2008 more than two and a half million adults and children became infected with HIV……….. How can we stop people from getting infected with HIV?!?

Sama Reader Arnold

I’m very sad for the situation…. In France there is a fight between Pierre Bergé (Sidaction) and the Telethon about the use of the money they get. And like Karmitto and Juliette already said, nothing really happened yesterday in France during AIDS Day.

Again, I think the heads at AIDS should aim their campaign beyond American borders. A World Day means everywhere in the world and not only in the U.S……..

You’re perfectly right Arnold but what can we do to change that???

Sama Reader Meddi

+1 Arnold.

We should stand up and fight, together.

And don’t wait for things to change by themselves.

Because they never change all by themselves.

I Lost one of my best friends to A.I.D.S on jan.7 10, she was a beautiful girl. It should not matter that she was a young white woman, gay men, drug users and african americans are just as important and their loss is just as painful to their loved ones. No one deserves this horrible disease. Lets give credit to the researchers who have come up with medicines to greatly prolong the lives of people now living with, not dying from this disease. They have made great strides and that is more than I can say about cancer reseachers.

Sama Reader Arnold

You’re right Dana and I’m sorry for your loss. But like I said in another comment, the heads at AIDS should aim their campaign beyond American borders because a World Day means everywhere in the world and not only in the U.S. People are sick everywhere and everyone should be aware about this desease because it still kills people all around the world :(
