Breaking the Silence: Miami-Dade County Health Department's Response
to Silence is Death (An
Action Plan)
Campaign “25 Myths & 25 Realities”
June 5th, 2006 marked the 25th Anniversary of the date the Center
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published a report of a
puzzling disease which we now know as HIV/AIDS. Yet, even after
25 years, stigma, fear, social isolation and discrimination continue
to hamper our efforts in combating this disease in the Hispanic
community
Therefore, the Hispanic AIDS Awareness Program, in collaboration
with the Miami-Dade County Health Department and the creative production
of Interart Media, created a public service awareness campaign called
“25 Myths and & 25 Realities,” which features the
support of 25 Hispanic celebrities.
The objective of the campaign is to increase AIDS awareness, promote
HIV prevention and reduce the myths, stigmas and fear surrounding
this disease, through the power of celebrity support.
The campaign targets the following audiences:
Latinos who are HIV negative and are at risk for acquiring HIV;
Latinos who are HIV positive and unaware of their status;
Latinos who are HIV positive.
