What’s stopping us from talking about HIV and AIDS?” “We talk about other sexual health issues. What’s stopping us from talking about HIV and AIDS?” Celebrity supporters of Crusaid’s World AIDS Day campaign today called for the public to get talking about HIV and AIDS issues. Lisa Snowdon, Liz McClarnon, Jameela Jamil and Jaime Jay amongst other stars are backing Crusaid’s the THINK. TALK.ACT.GIVE! campaign in a bid to raise vital awareness of the key issues around the illness and raise money for the charities work around HIV and AIDS-related poverty in the UK and internationally. “We talk about other sexual health issues. What’s stopping us from talking about HIV and AIDS? We need to talk about the facts. And one of those is that it’s not just an illness that affects older people. Young people in the UK and around the world are living with HIV and AIDS and by talking about you can help to get rid of the myths,” said singer, Jaime Jay. “HIV and AIDS haven’t gone away. World AIDS Day is really important because it draws attention to the major issues that people living with the illness face, as well as highlighting the need for more help and support to charities like Crusaid, so that they can reach out to more people affected by this illness,” added singer and presenter, Liz McClarnon Crusaid’s THINK. TALK.ACT.GIVE! campaign is backed by a number of celebrities, all of whom are encouraging the public to ‘take notice’ of the issues and consider the plight of the thousands of people experiencing severe poverty as a direct result of living with the illness. Some of the celebrities involved with the campaign will also appear in a short campaign film about HIV and AIDS awareness to be released soon. The film shows stars Jameela Jamil, Lisa Snowdon, Dan Gillespie Sells, Sue Perkins and singer Jaime Jay discussing the issues around HIV and AIDS such as the stigma still attached to the illness and the need for people to ‘protect’ themselves. T4 presenter, Jameela Jamil said, “HIV and AIDS can affect anyone; it doesn’t care about the colour of a person’s skin or how old they are, but people still discriminate.” Crusaid has also enlisted the support of British designer Giles Deacon who has lent the campaign t shirt his GILES range mascot, Eek. The popular cartoon character is styled in spikes in an abstract reference to ‘protection’. The t shirt can be bought at www.thinktalkactgive.org All funds raised from the sales of the t shirt will go towards Crusaid’s work

around HIV and AIDS-related poverty in the UK and internationally. “The Hardship Fund is often the only place for people in the UK to turn to when HIV pushes them into poverty. People can give what they can this World AIDS Day and make a difference to someone’s life,” said presenter and model, Lisa Snowdon. “There are over 70,000 people living with HIV in the UK and the reality is many of these people will experience extreme levels of poverty at some stage. With a staggering 25,000 people are unaware of their infection, HIV and AIDS awareness is crucial. People should be encouraged to ‘act’ responsibly by protecting themselves and ‘talk’ about the issues around the illness,” said Chief Executive, Jordan Hay.
