This fundraiser provides necessary funds for the new Fill Projects:
Today the new combination drugs for HIV are very successful – HIV + people live normal and healthy lives with almost the same life expectancy as HIV- people. To get this far, various treatments were developed over the years. From earlier times, one major side effect that can impact on some people remains wastage in the muscles of the face, so that a person is medically healthy but looks seriously ill. Collagen injections (which your money pays for) restore the facial tissue and the dignity of the patient to resume a full life in society. The State pays for a course of three – in many cases, this is not enough for full muscle restoration, so more injections are needed – your monies pay for these extra injections.
We can end HIV, AIDS and the stigma. Education is the key! The LGBTQI community has always been blamed for HIV, unfairly, therefore we have the duty to stand up against stigma and ignorance. I am putting my face out there for those who cannot do it anymore. The road is still long, but together we can make it shorter and easier. We were born fighters!
