World AIDS Day: HIV/AIDS and Lesbians

Lesbians do get AIDS. But that's not the only reason we should be commemorating today as World AIDS Day. Leadership is the theme for World AIDS Day 2008. Since we first learned of AIDS, lesbians have taken leadership roles, mainly in caring for our dying gay brothers and pressuring political leaders to take action. Even though the AIDS epidemic in the United States is not as it was 20 years ago, AIDS is still taking its toll on the lives of millions of Americans, Africans, Europeans and Asians. What will you do to help stop the spread of HIV and AIDS? Steps you can take on World AIDS Day.
