December 1st is World AIDS Day (worldaidsday.org)World AIDS Day
Established in 1988 by UNAIDS, World Aids Day promotes education and communication in an effort to end the AIDS epidemic. In honor of World Aids Day, The Brian Lehrer Show hosts an hour-long discussion about how AIDS affects us locally, the difficulty in creating a vaccine for this disease, and more. Also, how to navigate a romance in the workplace; and how the Giuliani expense story is playing in early primary states.
Rapid Fire Politics
Ben Smith, a writer for Politico.com, and Bob Hardt, the executive producer and political director of New York 1, return to the Politico story about accounting for then-Mayor Giuliani's expenses.
Then we check in with Josh Rogers, the statehouse correspondent for New Hampshire Public Radio, Leroy Chapman, the government and politics editor at The State, the largest newspaper in South Carolina and Jeneane Beck, a political reporter for Iowa Public Radio, to see how the story is playing in their states.
Spitzer: Fare Game?
Bob Hardt, the executive producer and political director of New York 1, and Gene Russianoff, staff attorney at the NYPIRG Straphangers campaign, look further at Gov. Spitzer's proposal on the MTA fare.
to: Office, re: Relationships
Stephanie Losee and Helaine Olen, the authors of Office Mate: The Employee Handbook for Finding--and Managing--Romance on the Job (Adams Media, 2007), talk about finding and surviving that workplace relationship.
Office Mate: The Employee Handbook for Finding and Managing Romance on the Job is available for purchase at Amazon.com.
The Fight: Working on a Vaccine
Sarah J. Schlesinger, MD associate professor of Clinical Investigation, Laboratory of Cellular Physiology and Immunology, The Rockefeller University and The Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center, discusses her work on a vaccine that would prevent HIV/AIDS.
HIV Positive
Kathy Scantbury lives in Red Hook and has been HIV positive for eleven years and Luvenia Suber, director of Village Care’s Red Hook Community Center, talk about their lives and work at the Brooklyn center.
Open Phones: The Stigma Around HIV/AIDS
Listeners with HIV tell us if there is still a stigma around AIDS.
WNYC is creating a long-term project in honor of World AIDS Day and we need your help. Send us your stories. If you have AIDS or are HIV positive, if you know someone who is, if you’re a healthcare worker, if AIDS has touched your life in any way, and you’d like to share you story, send us your story at worldaidsday@wnyc.org. We are accepting stories throughout the month of December.
