SAN DIEGO -- As communities around the globe prepare to mark World AIDS Day on Saturday, Dec. 1, the World Health Organization (WHO) is continuing its focus on the number zero.

SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego HIV Funding Collaborative announced its 2013 funding recipients this week, as it prepares to grant more than $360,000 to 10 San Diego area HIV/AIDS service organizations.

Many of us who survived the early years of the AIDS epidemic in the USA will reflect on how difficult it was to walk through the cloud of stigma and discrimination as we reflect on World AIDS Day this weekend.

We lost many brave friends who taught us how to love fearlessly and safely. Straight allies and health care professionals began to understand LGBT more than before and that our love was good. How we cared for our partners and friends and created organizations that were open to everyone is an enduring tribute to the indomitable spirit of that difficult chapter of our lives.
