C hen in 1984 I thought of the need to develop an AIDS prevention program in the country , was far from imagining that Just six months later with AIDS die the first person in Colombia: a woman in Cartagena. HOWEVER for everyone, including the public sector, infection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) was a distant location. Even many saw it as a political problem that would not get to touch us.

In 1985 my first friend died of AIDS, and that it was just an information about something that could become really came true. My fear and that of those close increased. Some companies that had been my sex or my friends became infected and some, the diagnosis I came too late and in a few months died. Unfortunately

found that, as in other parts of the world, the fundamental problem for many revolves around those who suffer or may suffer, not about the disease itself.

feel then that life once again takes us by surprise and urges the need to spread education much wider groups of people. With some volunteers joined the group Help and Information. We started continuous visits to places of meeting men with homosexual behavior, sex workers and health teams.

AIDS became hot topic. All the media talk about it. However it was and still is just one issue, there is no real approach to the risk of infection and even taken as a disease for another: homosexuals, drug addicts and promiscuous. This is a violent reality that specific populations that are being rejected.

Patients suffer permanent violation of their rights by health professionals, friends, relatives, mass media and even the Church refuses to accept condoms as one of the alternatives to infection and refuses to provide adequate pastoral care for the sick.

For many families, AIDS is no longer an issue. It is a hard and harsh reality. But the rejection has not changed: our environment is as real as the disease itself.

violent not only to sufferers and their relatives infection. So are those who have taken a social responsibility to address the problem. I myself was threatened with death by a right-wing group that considered that, through this important work, was enacted sexual debauchery. I was also outraged by a housewife who, after seeing a television program, I found one day on a bus and the driver asked me down for allegedly living with AIDS.

This rejection and psychosocial impact of infection are obviously the product of misinformation and lack of preparation. He has served as an excuse to further marginalize groups and marginalized people themselves always by our society.

The responsibility we several years ago still stands and the level of commitment is growing. We are confident that our work offers the possibility of a more positive life for people living with HIV or have developed the disease. It also allows changes in attitudes and practices among people who know they can and must achieve decent living standards, regardless of their condition.

But we have not only helped others to live better, but we do school for our own lives: we live as if we had the virus and this allows us more to love ourselves and others. Our life is then more and more rich, more positive, and each passing day takes on new meaning. We live and suffer, love, laugh and cry as people living with HIV or AIDS.

My work and my colleagues is not an isolated event but is a task that should be everyone since the perspectives are not reassuring. While not assume this problem as ours, we must submit to the pain of seeing our children, siblings, classmates, neighbors, friends suffering from the illness and social rejection. Everyone is exposed to the infection but we can all anticipate the risk of acquiring it.

Sexual Identity, Justice and Love

By Manuel Antonio Velandia Mora

Spain, January 2011

Among the "ought" of sexuality and the real life of human beings human, there is often a big difference. Just yesterday I was arguing with someone about how you can define a transsexual person, and we concluded it would be more correct to say that a transsexual man is someone who was born with vagina. On the other hand for example the definition of sexual orientation homosexual would be "a man (biological, chosen or transformed) that guides their desires, affections, genital and erotic to another biological man, chosen or transformed."

The problem in the definition of sexuality is that we have always thought that sexuality is a biological fact can not deny that biological variations are much larger than explanations of sexuality, because these are cultural constructions, biologically based definitions that ignore or seek to deny that diversity.

examinations or denials of the other beings do the build from our history, a story that generally seeks to place human beings and their sexuality and supposedly complementary opposites.

When a person know what attracts us and what we reject is knowledge through the relational process, generally see the clothes and accessories that cover the bodies, we hear these voices and tones that sometimes identify as male or female, and receive and give affection because they make us feel happy and fulfilled in spite of our own history and "knowledge."

Sexualities whether emotional, experiential, body and their explanations are not opposites, are a point on a continuum in a wide range of possibilities, since each of us is a unique and unrepeatable if have much in common with other beings.

Each person is a being that is built or being a human being full to the extent that managed to "being" what you've always wanted to be. "Wanting to be" not always a true copy of the "ought", because this is not real, but as mobile is a construction as is our own identity and our own "wanting to be", and this not only happens our sexuality but with many other areas of our daily experiences.

advanced culture with human development, but the culture as a social construct is much slower in processing the individual constructions of sexuality, and this has much in common with other beings.

social organizations thus become living space transformations in the construction of personal, collective and social identity transitions that are often interpreted from outside unless the experience, explains and excited as transgressions of "ought", a "must" in our Judeo-Christian culture, sexist, phallocratic, misogynist and markedly heterosexual denies the diversity and uniqueness.

Humans have a fundamental right is not recognized as such, the right to be involved Ser Because all other rights including the right to be happy. Social relations based on gender bias are the seeds of a countless number of hate crimes which even the laws are lax.

Entres social and legal norms and social reality is a big void, because the laws are not always based on the needs of all humans but the criteria of a few things, and these sometimes they are open and respectful of our humanity and sometimes deeply opposed to what the Judeo-Christian approaches proposed as should be.

Happiness is a relational process, not only has to do with ourselves but also has to do with the relationships we build and what we find them, but relations are contextual and explained, the emotional experiences and from the culture of space in which we are engaged, which is why many times we go unnoticed and some others we are victims of hate crimes.

We can not predict how we will be accepted or denied, but neither the possible acceptance or rejection should be the criterion to decide on our experience, however, the reality of the relationship as a criterion for happiness makes us reflect on our fears and experiences of acceptance or violation of other beings have been subjected.

is believed that those who seek sexual happiness is sick, but that society is sick because it is their culture that makes us sick. A culture based on the laws that determine what we should be, thus denying our own interest and need. Perhaps for this reason that a society must change the rule change and culture and our contribution as human beings is to create the conditions for everyone to be happy and not to just what are those who live or are forced to live should be.

assistance and emotional support should not be for those who want to be full but for those patients who are denied to others from legal criteria, religious or cultural right to be happy. There can be no justice, love and social equity when some who consider themselves the truth, whether it is revealed or humanly created, others claim that accepting this truth as the only possible, thus negating the principles it preaches.
