Page 3 Having HIV does not mean immediate death! Anti retroviral drugs and Positive Living choices have been proven to extend the lives of HIV infected by many years. Can I get HIV from casual social contact? No. So far, we only have evidence that HIV is transmitted through blood, unprotected sex and in some cases breast milk. Holding hands, hugging, kissing or sharing a cup or a spoon will not transmit HIV from one person to another. There is a lot of work to be done worldwide to combat HIV & AIDS; it will take a lot of dedication from many people for a long time to come. However I can absolutely say that whether you are infected or not, Living Positive, with a Positive attitude is something we can do right now!

The outreach campaign touches every household.

New DA (Development Action) Team Last month we welcomed the new Development Action Team. Jein-Hee, Ji-Eun, Mauricio and So-Young have started on the road that will eventually take them to development projects in Africa and Central America. One of the first outreach tasks was to represent Campus California at the Cinco de Maio celebration and fair in San Francisco. A day was filled with “south of the border� food, music and sunshine, but there was still a lot of interest in more serious topics as well.
