This year marks the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day (December 1). More than 33 million people live with the HIV/AIDS virus, and at least 2 million have died in the past year. Bloggers around the world play an important part in keeping awareness about HIV/Aids alive.
Blogging Positively Around the World
Global Voices bloggers have created a map of HIV positive bloggers who bravely defy stigma and taboo to communicate their situation to the rest of the world. It's best viewed in a large format.
It's a work in progress. If you have suggestions for links to add, please email Global Public Health Editor, Juhie Bhatia.
To embed this map on your own website or blog, just visit the map on Google Maps and find the “embed” code.
