“The chance of any HIV-positive person with an undetectable viral load transmitting the virus to a sexual partner is scientifically equivalent to zero, researchers confirmed at #AIDS2018 in Amsterdam The study found no transmissions between gay couples where the HIV-positive partner had an viral load undetectable viral load – even though there were nearly 77,000 acts of condomless sex between them. “We looked so hard for transmissions,” Alison Rodger told aidsmap.com. “And we didn’t find any.” The last line in the last slide she presented today was “Undetectable = Untransmittable.” https://www.aidsmap.com/Zero-transmissions-mean-zero-risk-PARTNER-2-study-results-announced/page/3311249/ (at Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Not Your Rescue Project: films from the sex worker rights movement, reclaiming our stories, addressing HIV/AIDS

Join Moral High Ground Productions and friends for this exciting set of films during the International AIDS Conference in Amsterdam. 10:45-11:55 on 7/26/2018, the Film Screening Room, the Global Village, AIDS2018.

Welcome to Amsterdam with an excerpt from Raising Red Umbrellas in Africa (2012, Kenya) and Behind the Window (2017, The Netherlands), a video conceptualized by Emy Fem, Cat D, Vera Rodriguez and Nayra Green and filmed at My Red Light, which is run cooperatively by sex workers. Learn more about how sex workers organized a Freedom Festival in Kolkata in 2012 to avoid/protest US travel restrictions affecting sex workers in the film The Honey Bringer (2012). Peel back the layers and go inside the US during the International AIDS conference with trendsetter Sharmus, via a 2 minute short called Sharmus Outlaw Speaks (2012, USA). We've planned a history section of this screening so we will not be condemned to repeat... oh wait on, some of these films sadly seem so 2018. Compulsive Practice (2016) is a compilation of the work of Whore Mother Carol Leigh. Major! (2015, USA, an excerpt) features our community member Miss Major Griffin-Gracy who has been fighting for the rights of trans women of color for over 40 years so we will remember, "how caring for each other can be a revolutionary act." A rare and thrilling screening of Prowling by Night (1990, Canada), a ground breaking work made with the participation of 21 sex workers, documenting police harassment and HIV prevention efforts. We end our history lesson with an excerpt from Our Bodies, Our Business (2016) remembering Andrew Hunter, Danny Cockerline and the whore who sold their car to be able to pay $500 to attend the 1989 AIDS Conference in Montreal. Recall the days when sex workers were locked outside the main conference, spoken about by a bunch of squares sitting smugly on a panel session, and watch whores fight back after being belittled by researchers and drug companies who got paid. History? It all sounds so familiar. We will work the Night Shift with Silver Rose (2018, Russia, an excerpt) and learn What You Don’t See (2017, Brazil) during sporting Mega-Events about trafficking hysteria. Creative Trafficking (2011, Canada) puts saving our souls in perspective with the Vivian Girls who are concerned about a very bad problem in Toronto. Musical interludes with the feisty return of The Honey Bringer (2012, Migration excerpts) --”exactly what risk does our freedom of movement pose to the world?-- and Whore Pride (2018, Australia).

Talk about aids! (If you’re rich...)

If you wanna see systematic exclusion, check out the fees of the International Aids Conference happening in Amsterdam right now:

Registration: 500-1200 euros

One-day pass: 320-565 euros

Jup, that’s 565 euros for a single day if you’re from a ‘high income country’, no matter what your own situation is. This includes the ‘population-specific pre-conferences’ they’ve announced to seem oh so progressive.

This is intentional, done to make sure only fancy big-hospital-sponsored doctors and pharmaceutical companies can access this space, and activists and HIV-positive people actually effected by these conferences can not get in.

They have a big list of sponsors and they can afford to let the media in for free, but if you’re a person effected by the issue, you need to be rich to matter.

And this is nothing exceptional. The WPATH conference on Transgender Care in Amsterdam charged 300-1000 euros for attendance.

By the way, if you wanna shout at the people responsible, try twitter: @AIDS_conference and #AIDS2018
