Project Report | Dec 5, 2018
Second Version " HIV: a look through art"

By Fundacion Sifuturo | Project Leader

--------------------- English Version ---------------------

We are very pleased to share with you the fact that we are recently launched the second version of the prevention and sensitization art exhibition titled "HIV: a glance through Art". We have worked with the preparation of it since the beginning of this project in September 2018. The inauguration was held as part of the commemoration of the World AIDS Day (December 1st).

We recall that this disease has been contracted by more than 77 million people worldwide since the beginning of the epidemic. As of today, 35.4 million have died due to related diseases. Thanks to advances in treatment, HIV / AIDS infection ceased to be a deadly disease and can be considered today as a chronic disease.

The treatment also decreases contagiousness. That is one of the reasons why it is important that all people know if they are infected or not through an exam. Knowledge and education empowers one person, and consequently, we save many of HIV.

The first version of the art exhibition during 2016 was visited by more than 3500 people, and we hope that this exhibition can be seen by many more.

We thank all of you, our GlobalGiving donors, Comfenalco Antioquia and Fraternidad Medellín for supporting this project and other programs of our Foundation.

We hope that this exhibition and its various components meet the following goals:

  • Engaging people in dialogue around HIV
  • Raising awareness about this condition
  • Help disseminate knowledge and measures to prevent this infection, highlighting self-care, respect and self-determination in the exercise of a responsible and healthy sexuality as well as helping to reduce stigma and discrimination.

We share some photos of the opening ceremony and the winners!

We are still far from our fundraising goal, and we rely on your help!

Estamos muy contentos de compartir con ustedes la inauguración de la segunda versión de la convocatoria: “VIH una mirada a través del Arte”, el pasado 29 de noviembre, actividad por la que hemos trabajado desde el inicio de este proyecto en septiembre 2018.  Esta inauguración se realizó en el marco de la conmemoración del día mundial de la lucha contra el sida (1° de diciembre).  

Recordamos que esta enfermedad ha sido contraída por más de 77 millones de personas a nivel mundial desde el comienzo de la epidemia,  de las cuales 35,4 millones fallecieron a causa de enfermedades relacionadasGracias a los avances en el tratamiento, la infección por VIH / sida, dejó de ser una enfermedad mortal y hoy se considera una enfermedad crónica.

El tratamiento también disminuye la contagiosidad. Por eso es importante que todas las personas conozcan si están infectados o no a través de un examen. Conocer es poder y educando una persona salvamos muchas del VIH. Nuestra primera versión en el 2016 fue visitada por más de 3500 personas, y esperamos que esta exhibición pueda ser vista por muchos más, durante el próximo mes que estará exhibida. 

Agradecemos a todos los donantes de GlobalGiving, a Comfenalco Antioquia y a Fraternidad Medellín por el apoyo para este proyecto y los programas de la Fundación.

Esperamos que esta exposición y sus distintos componentes, cumplan los objetivos de:

  • Entablar un diálogo entorno al VIH
  • Sensibilizar acerca de esta condición
  • Difundir conocimiento y las medidas de prevención de esta infección, destacando el auto-cuidado, el respeto y la libre determinación en el ejercicio de una sexualidad responsable, sana y placentera, y en especial, ayude a disminuir el estigma y la discriminación.

Les compartimos algunas fotos de la ceremonia de inauguración y de los ganadores!

Aún estamos lejos de la meta, esperamos poder continuar con su ayuda y que nos ayude en la difusión de este proyecto.
