Do you know how your liver looks??
Well, this is a picture of a healthy liver and a damaged liver due to cirrhosis.
Take initiative and ask your doctor about Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), (and other diseases of the liver) so you can get screened for it.
HCV is a silent killer and its incidence has become higher than HIV.
AIDS EDUCATION MONTH
June is AIDS Education Month in Philadelphia and P-HOP has supported two events (sponsored by Philadelphia FIGHT) so far. The first was the 13th Annual Prevention and Outreach Summit on Thursday, June 14th and the other was the 10th Annual Prison Summit on Tuesday, June 19th. These events were held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
Both these events were powerful and impactful. There were many lessons learned but the most vital lesson learned was that ALL of us are responsible to eradicate the stigma held against people with HIV/AIDS and those who have been released from prison. It needs to stop!
Go to http://fight.org/aem/ to register for the remainder of events going on this month.
Educate yourselves and show compassion because EVERYONE deserves to be treated with respect.

Retention in Care Key to Ending AIDS
With one in five HIV-positive U.S. residents still unaware of their infection status, one in two failing to receive routine medical care and three in four with detectable viral loads, a great deal more needs to be done to further reduce death rates and to slow the spread of the disease in the coming years.
