Dear Friends, 

Yesterday it was about "wearing the red ribbon" today is about " How to 
say it right"... 

SAY IT RIGHT 

Getting started in HIV prevention work also involves saying the right 
thing. We are all affected by AIDS and we can all be part of the solution. 
 Our words can either hurt and sustain misconceptions and prejudices or 
they can help inform and heal.  As a reminder, it is better to say: 

People with HIV/AIDS or                                             AIDS 
Victims / AIDS Sufferers 
People living with HIV / AIDS                  instead of        AIDS 
Carriers / AIDS patients 

HIV or AIDS                                         instead of AIDS Virus 

HIV Anti-body Test (HAT Test)                  instead of         AIDS 
Test 

Risky Behavior or 
Vulnerable Population                           instead of         High 
Risk Behavior                         

Men who have sex with Men 
(MSM)                                           instead of         Gays 

Persons in Prostitution (PIP)                          instead of 
Prostitutes / Whores 
or Commercial Sex Workers 

Injecting Drug Users (IDUs) or 
Drug Users                                         instead of         Drug 
Addicts 

Sexually Transmitted Infections         Sexually Transmitted Diseases 
(STIs)                                                  instead of (STDs) 


In general, it is helpful to avoid the use of terms and language that 
connote a negative image of people living with HIV / AIDS, stereotype them 
in a certain role or that gives a dark picture of HIV / AIDS in general. 

SO, SAY IT RIGHT!!!!!!!!
