Lecture Notes
Dr. Gilbert Valadez (continued)
My motivation for this is both personal and social. In 2001, I was diagnosed with AIDS, and that event in my life has really increased, as you can imagine, my awareness of the importance of the need for AIDS education and outreach to the world.
This observance then is helping me frame my own illness in a social way. By that I mean that I felt that one of the ways that I could help myself is to help other people. So for that reason I thought it would be a good thing to have an AIDS observance on campus, to kind of highlight the struggles of many human beings on this planet who have AIDS or are affected by AIDS.
