#Repost @riseindigenous (@get_repost)・・・#WorldAIDSday // please share.High resolution poster based on HIV/AIDS-related issues and a political poster poster designed by Richard Deagle, Tom Starace, & Joe Wollin for ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power).

As with all our posters, feel liberated to print out & wheatpaste at will!Statistics:The United States of America (USA) currently has around 1.2 million people living with HIV, with one in seven people unaware that they have HIV. The size of the epidemic is relatively small compared to the total population, however it is heavily concentrated among several key affected populations and geographically in the southern states – where 49% of all HIV new infections occur. Since the beginning of the HIV and AIDS epidemic, 659,000 people have died of AIDS-related illnesses in the USA.Young people aged 13-24 accounted for 21% of new HIV infections in 2011, despite only making up 17% of the USA population. 81% of these infections occurred in the 20 to 24 age group.Addressing stigma and discrimination around HIV is a major challenge for the USA, including misconceptions about how HIV is transmitted. For example, in a 2011 survey, 45% of people stated that they would feel uncomfortable if someone living with HIV prepared their food.More information and statistics are available here:http://www.avert.org/usa-statistics.htmR.I.S.E.:Radical Indigenous Survivance & EmpowermentInfo:http://www.burymyart.tumblr.comhttps://www.facebook.com/RISEIndigenouscontact: burymyart@gmail.com-#ACTUP#QTPOC#AIDSart#HIVAIDS#NativeArt#JoeWollin#TomStarace#BerthaHarvey#IndigenousArt#RichardDeagle#RISEindigenous#AIDSRelatedArt#IndigenousQueer#DAYWITHOUTART#NativeAmericanArt#aidscoalitiontounleashpower#radicalindigenoussurvivanceandempowerment -- source link
