We've known since the start of the HIV epidemic 34 years ago that the language with which we speak about HIV and those living with the virus can be stigmatizing--or empowering. I'm glad PLUS is going for the empowering. Now if we can only lay to rest the outdated term "AIDS"--as the Presidential Commission on the HIV Epidemic advised way back in the late 80s--we will have passed another milestone to making life with HIV that much more hopeful and normal.John-Manuel Andriotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10364029290420257162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635365692782291833.post-89960946625555231882015-04-16T10:10:21.627-07:002015-04-16T10:10:21.627-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.John-Manuel Andriotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10364029290420257162noreply@blogger.com
