She underscored unacceptability of discrimination against of people living with HIV and reminded all of kindness and mercy to those in need of help and support.
DJ Nicky Siano said:
-My best friend DJ David Rodriguez died of AIDS in 1984. After that I became active in the area of HIV/AIDS prevention and assistance to the HIV positive. When I am asked if my musical career of a DJ or my activity aimed at halting HIV epidemic are more important for me, the only answer I have is - my volunteer work in response to AIDS.
Vera Krasova considers it her duty to use her honorary title “Vice-Miss Universe 2008” for drawing youth’s attention to the issue of HIV prevention.
-In Russia there are so many people of my age who do not at all think about their own and their loved ones’ health. I would very much want to change this situation and draw their attention to HIV prevention.
During «MAjITO NIGHT» nine thousand rubles were collected for Republican Clinical Hospital for Infectious Diseases-Federal Centre for Prenatal Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission in Ust Izhora village of Leningrad oblast.
