World AIDS Day

November 30, 2004

In 1981 the first cases of HIV/AIDS were reported by the CDC. It wasn't till 1984 that the virus was isolated and identified. Twenty four years later we are still far away from a cure. Tomorrow marks the 17th commemoration of World AIDS day.


UNAIDS focuses on one theme a year, this year the focus is on Women and Girls. We want to focus our observation of the day by opening our phones to our listeners living with HIV/AIDS. We would like you to share your history living with the disease. How did you find out, how did you tell others, how many pills do you have to take a day?

The open phones segment will take place at 10:30am tomorrow morning and our show line is 212 267 9692. You can also email us here.
