Spotlighting the masculine vulnerabilities to AIDS

'With an objective to raise awareness on how men’s behaviour, attitudes and practices are contributing towards the spread of HIV and AIDS, a two-day exhibition displaying traditional truck art opened at Nomad Art Gallery on Saturday, said a press release.
The exhibition is a part of “Driving on Empty – a truck art based HIV and AIDS prevention and advocacy initiative”, implemented by Amal Human Development Network with the support from Direct Aid Programme of the Australian High Commission.
The campaign aims at investigating and understanding vulnerabilities of truck drivers to HIV and AIDS, which puts their sexual partners, spouses and unborn children at risk as well. The combination of research and work with truck drivers and truck artists has resulted in producing a series of moving testimonials and panels that express the experiences, hopes and fears of respondents in a sensitive and unique manner.'

And women don't spread HIV?
Ever notice men are treated as disease vectors when it comes to HIV but women as disease victims, when both men and women can spread HIV-- or any other STD for that matter. Concern always seems to be about how women get infected by STDs while men spread STDs. Never the other way around, though it's just as valid to look at it that way, too.
