In the world 2.1 Million Children (Under the age of 15) are living with HIV.

In the United states 1.1 million people are living with HIV.

1 out of 4 people with this disease donвЂ™t actually know they have it.

Every 9 ВЅ minutes someone is affected with HIV/AIDS in the United States.

AIDS to me at first was just a disease you get from a bad needle or unprotected sex and I really thought it wasnвЂ™t common at all but then I did a little more research in to it because of my project.Д¤ outrageous facts that I found to support my argument. And I found that this is in most cases is true. I wanted to look at disease and see if it was more relevant when вЂњfameвЂќ is associated with it. HeВ was a hero to some people, and was criticized by others.ДЇrom Susan Sontag:В вЂњAids quickly Became a global event-discussed not only in New York, Paris, Rio, Kinshasa but also in Helsinki, Buenos Aires, Beijing, and Singapore- when it was far from the leading cause of death in AfricaвЂќ(171) was said to be the first musician to announce to public that he had HIV.В Philly was not from America which is why he isnвЂ™t that well known, but rather from Uganda and was a Aids Activist. Another influential face for AIDS which I found about with all my research which I thought was pretty cool wasВ Philly Lutayaa. He was aВ Rapper Who started solo and then eventually joinedВ a rap group called N.W.A from Compton.В Died at age 31 of an AIDS determined death. Next, A little more aboutВ Eric Wright or Eazy-E who was theВ Co founder of Ruthless records. What did this do for their cultures? (Bisexuality вЂ“ Freddie Mercury, African American- Eazy- E)ДЇirst if you are not familiar with Freddie Mercury he is aВ Singer/song writer who was a member ofВ the rock band вЂњQueen.вЂќВ Wrote many songs including the very popular song вЂњBohemian RhapsodyвЂќ and he died from an AIDS determined death at the age 45. How would it be different if they were open/knew they had this disease their whole career? WhatвЂ™s the Relationship Between the production of the Musician and his diseased body? How has HIV/AIDS Impacted these Musicians career? (Positively or negatively) In this power point I hope to summarize my research by answering a couple specific questions.

Looking at the impact that musicians had on AIDS I wanted to go in more depth in my research. Yes I knew what the disease was before but it wasnвЂ™t relevant to my day to day life so it was hard to care about. Freddie Mercury and Eazy-E both put a face on AIDS/HIV which at least for me helped me gain awareness.
