As we enter the 30th year of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, CARAS, aims to make us pause, focus and reevaluate what is going on with this disease and its prevention strategies. CARAS is the first of a series of events in observation of the first case of AIDS reported by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in June1981.

There are many of us whose lives have intersected in some way with HIV/AIDS; whether through infection, care, loss of a loved one, or activism. In today’s world, HIV/AIDS is a reality with some communities being unduly affected.

Although HIV/AIDS is preventable, gaining insight into the social realities in which it becomes manifested is not an easy task.  The project aspires to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS in order to encourage people to react, get informed and protect themselves. This disease is disproportionately affecting Hispanics due to many systemic factors that contribute to prevalence rates. Inequitable access to healthcare, violence against women, socio-economic and socio-cultural conditions, lack of encouragement for those testing positive to live openly in the community, human trafficking, xenophobia and stigma are some of these factors.

Building partnerships between media organizations, the private sector, personalities and community leaders is vital to achieving our goal.  The need to join forces in the fight against HIV/AIDS cannot be overstated.

We hope you will accept our invitation and become part of this effort.
