Hydeia Broadbent
Hydeia Brodbent (born 14 June 1984) is a United-States-based HIV/AIDS activist. Early life Broadbent was born in 1984 with undiagnosed HIV. She was adopted at 10 months old by Loren and Patricia Jones. Her adoptive parents found out she had HIV three years after her adoption. Not much had been known about Hydeia, as her birth mother had left her at a Las Vegas hospital. Three years later, that hospital called Hydeia's adoptive parents when Hydeia's birth mother gave birth at the same hospital to another child and left him there, as both mother and child tested positive for HIV. The Broadbents tested Hydeia soon after, and she also tested positive for HIV. Her adoptive mother signed her up for a research trial to hopefully find a treatment that would work for Hydeia. Growing up, Hydeia regularly had brain and blood infections, pneumonia, and fungal infections in her brain. It was predicted that she would not survive childhood, and would die at the age of 5. Despite all predict ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

HIV/AIDS Activists
Social and political activism to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS, as well as to raise funds for effective treatment and care of people with AIDS (PWAs), has taken place in multiple nations across the world since the 1980s. As a disease that began in marginalized populations, efforts to mobilize funding, treatment, and fight discrimination have largely been dependent on the work of grassroots organizers directly confronting public health organizations (often government-managed medical bureaucracies) as well as politicians, drug companies, and other institutions. Inaction from the Reagan administration in the US in the early 1980s,"And the Band Played On", Randy Shilts, p. 588, St. Martin's Press, 2007 rampant homophobia, and the spread of misconceptions about HIV/AIDS led to outright discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS, especially in the early days of the AIDS pandemic. Protest movements like ACT UP arose to fight for the rights of PWAs and to work to end the pandemic. M ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

People With HIV/AIDS
HIV-positive people, seropositive people or people who live with HIV are people who have the human immunodeficiency virus HIV, the agent of the currently incurable disease AIDS. According to estimates by WHO and UNAIDS, 34.2 million people were infected with HIV at the end of 2011. That same year, some 2.5 million people became newly infected, and 1.7 million died of AIDS-related causes, including 230,000 children. More than two-thirds of new HIV infections are in sub-Saharan Africa. However, fewer than 20% of them are actually aware of the infection. Infection with HIV is determined by an HIV test. Gender and diagnosis Diagnosis and gender play corresponding roles in recognizing the lives of those who live with HIV/AIDS. Women have not been diagnosed as early as men because their symptoms were not as obvious and doctors were not as likely to search for the disease in them as they are for men. This has also been based on the fact that far more men than women participated in cli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

1996 Republican National Convention
The 1996 Republican National Convention convened at the San Diego Convention Center (SDCC) in San Diego, California, from August 12 to August 15, 1996. The convention nominated former Senator Bob Dole from Kansas, for president and former Representative and secretary of Housing and Urban Development Jack Kemp, from suburban Buffalo, New York, for vice president. Background Political context After a bitter primary, Dole had secured the Republican presidential nomination—but at high cost, financially and politically. The Party had lost momentum after President Bill Clinton successfully co-opted the historically Republican issues of crime and welfare reform and portrayed House Speaker Newt Gingrich as an extremist. Within his own party, Dole was under pressure from both sides of the political spectrum. Social liberals such as California Governor Pete Wilson and Massachusetts Governor William Weld loudly argued to remove the Human Life Amendment plank from the convention platfor ...
