TERRACE — The brooding
eyes stare out from the poster,

“Where in the world did this
woman get AIDS?’ it demands.

That is one of the challenges
against the- common myths
about. the deadly sexually
transmitted disease that is the
cornerstone of an AIDS
awareness campaign being laun-
ched on Dec. 1 — World AIDS
Day. - ;

Local organizers of the cam-
paign say they want to use the
day to increase public awareness
and education about AIDS.

And.in particular they want
to end’ the ‘myth that only
homosexuals are vulnerable and
to make people aware that
AIDS crosses all sectors of
society.

“The more education we
have, the better our defences
will be to stop it,” says Dr.
David Bowering, the region’s
medical health officer,

Although only one more per-
son tested positive so far this
year for the HIV virus. that leads
to AIDS, Bowering says that
isn’t a reason to drop our
guard. A total of six people in
the region have tested positive
for HIV in the past two years,
he said, and there is one actual
case of AIDS here.

“‘Because provincial totals
are continuing to rise, it seems
likely that the actual numbers
are rising here as well,’’ said
Bowering. Although he said he
is encouraged by the lack of
HIV-positive tests this year, it.
doesn't mean that there aren't
AIDS carriers in Terrace.

He said people here who are
high-risk to contract the disease
are still likely going to Van-
