CYBERSPACE—Premier adult social networking site AdultSpace.com is recognizing World AIDS Day, Tuesday, December 1, by providing visitors with a World AIDS Day guide for 12 U.S. cities and London that includes information about AIDS/HIV prevention, testing and events marking the day locally.
Ruben Kane, CEO and founder of AdultSpace, had an important goal in mind when developing the page for World AIDS Day. “I wanted to create a safe and anonymous place for our members to learn the facts about HIV/AIDS, specifically how to protect themselves. It's one step, but an important step, to take in the fight against AIDS,” he said.
By providing a virtual playground for over 800,000 members, AdultSpace feels a strong obligation to guide their members to play safe offline. Despite the fact that no cure exists for HIV/AIDS, there are key prevention actions that are globally recognized. AdultSpace is providing invaluable information about safer sex practices, prevention tactics, along with education about the disease and the importance of being tested. Living a long, healthy life is possible if you are HIV positive, if you catch the disease in its early stages.
The UN and the World Health Organization released encouraging news this week: prevention programs are making a difference. According to a 2009 AIDS epidemic update, new HIV infections have been reduced by 17 percent over the past eight years and access to treatment has caused a decrease in AIDS related deaths by over 10 percent.
In addition to the facts about HIV and AIDS, AdultSpace will provide a city-by-city guide for getting help if you or someone you know has the disease. The guide informs you where to find a local testing site and how to join members of your community in supporting AIDS awareness on World AIDS Day. This information portal for AIDS Awareness will remain live on the site to spread AIDS Awareness every day of the year!
AdultSpace hopes to educate and aid their members, and prevent AIDS from claiming more lives. If your site does not have a resource page, AdultSpace welcomes you to link directly to their resource page at http://www.adultspace.com/resources_aids.html.
