December 1 is World AIDS Day, a day every year for the world to unite in the fight against the HIV epidemic, support those living with the disease and remember the hundreds of thousands who have died from it.“On 1 December WHO is calling on global leaders and citizens to rally for ‘global solidarity’ to maintain essential HIV services during COVID 19 and beyond - and to ensure continued provision of HIV services for children, adolescents and populations most at risk for the disease,” reads a public statement from the World Health Organization.“Protecting people from HIV during the pandemic, and ensuring they can maintain treatment, is critical. Researchers are currently investigating whether people with HIV have an increased risk of poor outcomes with COVID-19.”Meanwhile, in South Africa, which has been especially hard-hit by HIV/AIDS, health officials are hoping that new, long-acting drugs to help prevent HIV infection will be a turning point for the fight against a global health threat.South Africa has the biggest epidemic in the world with 7.7 million people living with HIV, according to UNAIDS.World AIDS Day was first observed in 1988. Every year since, organizations, scientists, patients and loved ones across the world encourage awareness to move toward ending the epidemic.About 1.2 million Americans are currently living with HIV, according to HIV.gov, a website managed by the US Department of Health and Human Services, and about 14 percent of those people living with it don’t know they have it and need testing.More than 37,000 new HIV infections were diagnosed in this country in 2018, according to the CDC, with the highest rates of new diagnoses happening in the South and among people aged 25-34.That year, there were more than 15,800 deaths among Americans who had been diagnosed with HIV.Men are still much more likely to contract the disease, about five times as many men had new diagnoses in 2018 as compared to women. According to CDC data, about two-thirds of new cases in 2018 resulted from male-to-male sexual contact with an infected person.About seven percent of new HIV infections in 2018 were the result of people injecting drugs using infected needles or equipment.The World Health Organization said they hope some of the lessons from the coronavirus pandemic can be applied to the HIV/AIDS epidemic to help “accelerate progress towards our new 2025 targets and … ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.” 2467

DEHESA, Calif. (CNS) - An 80-year-old motorist was found dead today inside her crashed car at the bottom of an embankment alongside a dirt road near the Sycuan Casino.A hiker came upon the crumpled gold Lexus ES300 roughly a half-mile from the southern terminus of Sycuan Road in the rural Dehesa area about 8 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.The driver's name was withheld pending family notification. Her car apparently veered off an unpaved rural byway on the grounds of Sycuan Indian Reservation, careened down the adjacent hillside and struck a large oak tree."The Lexus was equipped with a lap- and shoulder-belt restraint system along with an airbag system," CHP public-affairs Officer Travis Garrow said this afternoon. "At this time, it does not appear the (motorist) was wearing her seat belt at the time of the (accident)."When the crash occurred was unclear, though a camera at a nearby guard shack captured images of the Lexus passing through the area about 2:30 p.m.Tuesday, according to Garrow. Why the woman was driving over such remote and rugged terrain also was unknown, though intoxication was not believed to have been a factor in the fatality, the spokesman said. 1209

DENVER, Colorado — The deadliest wildfire in California's history has left behind a path of unimaginable destruction, wiping out homes and killing at least 50 people. The Hamilton family had nine minutes to evacuate and barely escaped as flames raced toward their home. They lost everything in the fire just three weeks after moving all their belongings to Paradise, California.Steve Hamilton, his wife Delinda and their three kids moved from Colorado to California so he could take a job as a lead pastor. The family spent six years in Colorado where he worked for the Rocky Mountain Conference of Seventh-day Adventists."I know it was a really hard decision for him to leave but he felt like God was calling him out there," said Matt Moreland, a longtime friend and former coworker.Boxes were still packed when the fire destroyed the home where they had recently moved in. Pictures show the outline of a foundation and some of their belongings in the debris."They really just jumped in the car and drove away and Steve said when they were driving away their front yard was already on fire," said Moreland.He say the family didn't have insurance yet because they had just moved. Despite their loss, the family is focusing on helping others in their new community. "As soon as they went down the hill in Chico, Steve was calling people, asking for supplies to get things organized in order to start helping these people," said Moreland.Now friends are trying to help the family start over. They started a GoFundMe page to raise money for them as they continue their ministry work in California."They would never ask for help, they would just be the ones helping everyone else," said Lindsey Pratt, a friend who started the fundraising page. 1783

DENVER – A 69-year-old retired bus driver sits in a Denver jail this Thanksgiving holiday awaiting extradition back to Indiana following his arrest Tuesday in connection with a 34-year-old case that Indiana officials told him he’d completed his sentence for more than three decades ago – a situation that a Denver attorney says reminds him of the Jim Crow era of America.“I got a panicked, freaked-out phone call, as one would expect, from the family on Tuesday saying that they’ve just taken our grandfather who hasn’t had a brush with the law in more than three decades,” said Denver civil rights attorney Jason Flores-Williams, who is representing Theodell McGowan in the case.According to Flores-Williams, Denver Sheriff Department deputies showed up at McGowan’s home Tuesday as three generations of family members prepared for Thanksgiving and arrested him in front of his family.“It’s been terrible,” McGowan told KMGH from jail Friday. “I had planned to have Thanksgiving dinner with my daughter.”Deputies told McGowan and his family that they had a warrant for his arrest out of Gary, Indiana from 34 years ago for allegedly violating the terms of his sentence at the time.According to Flores-Williams, McGowan received an 18-month sentence at a halfway house in connection with a car theft. According to a writ of habeas corpus filed by Flores-Williams, McGowan was told at the time that he’d completed his sentence and could move out of the halfway house, which he did.“He was doing his time at a halfway house in which he would go to a job every day away from the halfway house, and somebody told him at the halfway house that he had done his time,” Flores-Williams said. “He had paid his debt to society and so that he could leave, so this is technical.”McGowan has spent the past 30-plus years in Colorado, where he worked as an RTD bus driver and bus driver for Denver Public Schools for 20 years before retiring. He regularly attends the New Beginnings Church in Aurora, Colorado.McGowan said Friday that he went through multiple background checks for his jobs as well as a Secret Service background check when he drove buses during the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver and the warrant never showed up.“I did the most extensive background check you can do … this ain’t ever come up,” McGowan said.Flores-Williams says that someone in Indiana doing paperwork issued the warrant despite what McGowan says he was told decades ago and living a life free of criminal charges since then.“Somehow, someway, somebody – without thinking – in Indiana saw this technicality and issued a warrant for his arrest, which Denver had no choice but to comply with,” Flores-Williams said.After McGowan was arrested Tuesday, according to Flores-Williams, Denver sheriff’s deputies forced McGowan to sign a waiver of extradition without allowing him to consult with attorneys or his family. Flores-Williams says that McGowan was not allowed to retrieve his dental plate before he was brought to jail and that he has had a hard time eating without it.“I led a stable life, paid for a house, bought a new car … I had a stable life and all of a sudden this comes up from 30-some years ago and they say I owe them eight or nine more months,” McGowan said. “It’s totally unfair to me because it’s a risk to me losing everything I’ve accumulated in the last 30 years.”Now, Flores-Williams says that prosecutors in both Denver and Indiana say they are unsure what to do with the case. He says the writ of habeas corpus filed Friday in U.S. District Court of Colorado was denied because Denver does not have a case.“The Denver courts – their hands are tied. I’ve spoken with the Denver district attorney and friends there, and they don’t even have a case for the guy,” Flores-Williams said. “I’ve called Indiana. The DA in Gary, Indiana isn’t even aware of the case, so this really comes down to somebody in some office not thinking about the consequences of their actions.”Flores-Williams says that he’s been trying to convince officials there is a “more humane way” to handle the situation “rather than wasting the resources, and all the time and energy” of putting McGowan behind bars.“It’s completely inhumane, and at the end of the day what it really is, is a miscarriage of justice,” Flores-Williams said. “We as a society have no interest in seeing this man, who’s been an asset to his community, behind bars right now.”McGowan said he doesn’t think he’s being treated fairly but said he would do what officials are telling him to do if it’s necessary.“There should be a benefit to turning your life around and trying to do the right thing and becoming a productive, taxpaying citizen. My life is totally different,” he said. “If I really gotta do it, I wish they would let me do it in Colorado around my family because I’m not connecting to Indiana in no kind of way no more.”And after having big Thanksgiving plans earlier in the week, McGowan said Friday he didn’t eat on his Thanksgiving spent in jail because he has “no appetite for the kind of food they serve up in here.” “I’m 70 years old. I’m too old for this,” he said.McGowan, who is a father, grandfather and great grandfather, says he feels embarrassed by the situation.“Embarrassed, and tired and old. But I’m also embarrassed because I think I’m disappointing my family because they look up to me as a role model,” he said. His fiancée, Helen Allen, called him a “very loving person” who is loved by both her and his children.Flores-Williams compares what he says is happening to McGowan to the Jim Crow era.“It reminds me of something out of the Jim Crow era, where there’d be some ridiculous charge, some ridiculous technicality, and because somebody decides to call in from Indiana, an older African-American gentleman’s life is basically ruined because he’s thrown behind bars,” he said.McGowan and Flores-Williams are still waiting to see what happens next. But McGowan said he feels that he is being penalized after doing everything he could to change the man he used to be over the past three decades.“What I want [people] to know is not really happening to me. I would like for them to know if you turn your life around and do all the right things, that should be recognized,” he said. “Not if you do the right thing, they reach way back in your past, constantly coming up with your past and using that to penalize you. I’m not no threat to the community. I’m not no threat to nobody.” 6483
