One in five Americans infected with HIV don’t know it. Philadelphians can make a difference in the fight against HIV and AIDS by participating in AIDS Walk Philly, which will bring together nearly 15,000 people to raise money for HIV prevention education, public awareness, and HIV care services here in the Greater Philadelphia region. Walk and run beginning at the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Run along the certified 5K route on Martin Luther King Drive at 8am. Walk along the 12K route, beginning along Kelly Drive at 9am and returning on Martin Luther King Drive. Right in our own backyard, thirty thousand of our friends, family, and neighbors live with HIV, a condition for which they are often judged and misunderstood. In 15 years, the rate of infection has not decreased. The 25 th Annual AIDS Walk Philly will also be a time to reflect over the past 25 years of the fundraising event as well as 30 years that the epidemic has existed. Robb Reichard, Executive Director of AIDS Fund , explains that part of the mission of the Walk is to give Philadelphians a better understanding of current HIV/AIDS facts.

  • Resistant Bacteria Meet Reality Television - Nytimes.Com Page 1 of 2
    Resistant Bacteria Meet Reality Television - NYTimes.com Page 1 of 2 Resistant Bacteria Meet Reality Television By Tara Parker-Pope January 23, 2008 11:09 am The fashion reality competition Project Runway got a scary dose of reality recently when one of its contestants came down with an infection caused by MRSA, the virulent strain of drug-resistant bacteria that captured headlines last fall after the deaths of two young students. New York fashion designer Jack Mackenroth, 38, was diagnosed with community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, and has since recovered. But the emergence of MRSA on reality TV comes amidst warnings that the potentially deadly bacteria has become more common. Last fall, The Journal of the American Medical Association published a report that MRSA appears to be killing more people annually than AIDS, emphysema or homicide, taking an estimated 19,000 lives in 2005. Mr. Mackenroth says he first thought the infection was just a pimple in his nose, but he soon developed swelling inside his lip and on the left side of his face. The designer says he actually had experienced a MRSA infection a few years ago on his leg, and the progression of the infection seemed similar. Knowing that MRSA requires prompt treatment, he made the decision to leave the show even before being formally diagnosed. “Once you’ve had it once, you are very alert to the symptoms,” Mr. Mackenroth said in a phone interview. “The quicker you catch it, the easier it is to treat.” He said that he wanted to seek treatment quickly, but he also was concerned about infecting his fellow contestants.
