I will suggest Seun installs a software that can track your HIV status online using your finger prints as you type . . . what about that? |

this will wind up being the most honest pageant in the history of Nigeria - if it works out - the judges will be too scared to chook the contestants  |

We can no longer do anything with our talent, time and resources anymore. Anyway I wish them luck. |

I see nothing wrong with this initiative, if beauty peagents could be organized for HIV negative people, y can't it be done for persons living with HIV They need to be integrated back into the society and live like normal humans without any form of stigma. condemnation of this event is synonymous to condemning the PARA-LYMPIC games A "crazy person" like me could get married to an HIV positive person if i fall in love with her, even though i am negative! Remember, all human beings are equal |

The level of stupidity from most of the posters here is staggering. Here we are trying to curb the stigma associated with HIV positive people and people are here chortling in self-righteous glee. You people should grow up and move into the modern age. Imagine people comparing HIV victims to armed robbers. 90% of you morons will identify yourselves as Christians and go to church on Sunday. Where's the charity and love associated with your faith? No wonder the likes of Helen Ukpabio and her child 'witch' killing crew flourish in this country. PS: And before any of you numbnuts get all kiddie on me, no, i am not HIV positive. I'm just an indignant Nigerian who firmly believes in the 'live and let live' policy. 1 Like |

This pageant has my stamp of approval since it is designed to obliterate the stigma associated with persons living with HIV. Comparing a HIV+ person to an armed robber is tantamount to comparing a person infected with, say cancer, to a criminal. May the Lord forgive such persons making those erroneous comparisons, and I pray that they, or a member of their family, never become infected with HIV. |

Princek12: The question is: Will it do it or will it subject the patients and their respective families to more ridicule from the populace?. The stigma can be stamped out through incessant media campaigns and it will take some time. Even in the western world, HIV patients still have some stigma attached to them. It's a continuous process and may not be affected by a mere beauty pageantry. |

| Re: Miss Hiv Positive Beauty Pageant Begins Nov 23 by AloyEmeka6: 7:04pm On Oct 22, 2009 |
agathamari: You are right after all, the pageant for virgins last year did not lead to increase in virgins like they expected. Remember the story here: http://odili.net/news/source/2009/feb/13/305.html |

browncocos: i am sure that would have been taken cared of while selecting the judges. Besides in year 2009, if someone still think they can be infected by shaking hands, they belongs to the zoo |

 Over the past two years, photographer Sönke C. Weiss traveled throughout the Congo and southern Africa, the region hardest hit by HIV/Aids. He wanted to find out about the women who have been affected by HIV/Aids there, who they are, what they think, how they deal with the Aids pandemic, how it affects their lives and their souls, and what the future holds for them. Mr. Weiss found himself to be fascinated by the parallel existence of both frailty and courage in these women and struck by their kindness, love and passion for life. Nearly all of them had been infected by their husbands or longterm partners, yet he found grace and hope rather than the cynicism and bitterness he had expected. Mr. Weiss says: "I learned that they did not want to be defined by their disease, but by the life they still hoped for and by their relationships to others as daughters, sisters, friends, mothers and wives." He does not see these women as victims; for him they are heroines. "Each day they fight against an invisible virus and the painful stigma often associated with it. They endure their suffering for the sake of their children, families and communities. Many experience sorrow; others find solidarity. But they all share a beauty and a bravery that I have yet to see duplicated elsewhere", Mr. Weiss says. The photographer believes that their stories exemplify the experience of countless other women around the world living with HIV/Aids. He hopes that his work does them justice. |

koolchicco: You never see Ojoju sef.  "My husband infected me with the virus. I am sure of it. Nobody else has ever touched me. After I tested positive, he left. He's not very far away from here. I know that. I also know that he has many girlfriends. All men do. That's what they are good at. Nothing else. When a man decides to disappear, you can't force him to come back. Ever. I don't like men anymore."  "I was raped in Soweto. The township where I live. When I reported it to the police the officer didn't believe me. He said: `You are fat. Nobody rapes a fat girl like you.' But that's how I got the virus. At first I wanted to kill myself, but then I learned how to fight the pain inside of me. My family is supporting me. Without them I couldn't survive. I am very lucky to have my parents, my sisters and brothers. Today I counsel women who were raped too - who are HIV positive because of a crime against them. There are so many of us." South Africa: Kefilwe Ndaba, 30. http://allafrica.com/photoessay/womenaids/photo3.html#photo |

Thanks for the pictures. I guess the pilot program has been tested elsewhere. |
| Re: Miss Hiv Positive Beauty Pageant Begins Nov 23 by Nobody: 8:14pm On Oct 22, 2009 |
These people are very stupid. I just hope this stupidness does not encourage/stimulate an increase of HIV rates. HIV [i]is [/i]a bleeping taboo. Stop denying it. |

FL Gators: That wasnt nice. They were telling their stories and i think it is possible. |
| Re: Miss Hiv Positive Beauty Pageant Begins Nov 23 by AloyEmeka6: 8:26pm On Oct 22, 2009 |
FL Gators: HIV is not a taboo, it's an illness and many victims did not ask for it. Show them some respect because it can happen to any of us. [i]"I was raped in Soweto. The township where I live. When I reported it to the police the officer didn't believe me. He said: `You are fat. Nobody rapes a fat girl like you.' But that's how I got the virus.
