WNCAP Launches "I Need You to Know"
Campaign
The Western North Carolina AIDS Project (WNCAP) is
launching a media campaign to combat HIV/AIDS stigma in
Western North Carolina. The campaign theme, "I Need You
to Know" is an attempt to raise awareness about how
HIV/AIDS affects everyone in the community.
A major goal of the campaign is to obtain 5,000

with a series of statements affirming the rights of people
living with HIV/AIDS. The statements are:
- People living with HIV/AIDS deserve to be treated with
dignity and respect.
- People living with HIV/AIDS deserve unconditional love
from their families.
- People living with HIV/AIDS have a right to equal access
under the law to safe and affordable housing, employment,
healthcare and education.
- People living with HIV/AIDS should be seen as productive
members of society.
- People living with HIV/AIDS have a right to LIVE, just
like everyone else.
