World AIDS Day

I have to admit that I am totally unprepared for World AIDS Day this year, and frankly, I'm not of the impression that I'm going to offer any of the twelve people who read this blog regularly information that they don't already know. But, here's some links of possible interest:

Stop Prisoner Rape offers advice on avoiding contracting AIDS in prison. The Guardian has an intimate account of what it's like being an AIDS orphan. The ACLU details a disturbing trend in AIDS- and HIV-related civil rights abuses.

And tonight at 7:30, if you're so inclined, you can go to St. John's Church of the Divine and hear Kofi Annan, and others, speak on AIDS.

(Don't worry, snarkiness and vitriol to follow shortly.)
