Edition 2.7 of the International Carnival of Pozitivities Available

It is with great pride that I announce the first edition of the ICP to have been hosted outside of North America. Matty the Damned at The Spin Cycle has graciously served as our host for this month...from Australia. Bless his heart, Matty has a way with words. I have to include a strong language warning for you to consider, but what is a little language when you are dealing with a terminal illness? I hope that you will read this article and overlook any part that might offend you to see through to the good in the messages that we share to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS.

This 19th consecutive edition of the ICP features personal accounts, video, self-help information and the latest in news from the HIV/AIDS community. I hope that you will spend some time reading and that you will leave comments for the contributors.

Next Edition

Please visit the ICP homepage to learn more about this project. Submissions are accepted until the 2nd of each month. Publication is generally completed before the 10th of each month.

We are now accepting submissions for edition 2.8 to be hosted at NotPerfectAtAll from the Netherlands.

Please consider contributing your original artwork, poetry, news, personal accounts, short stories, videos or music files for the next edition. To contribute, you can visit the ICP homepage and use the submission guidelines or you can email me the URL of any post that you wish to nominate for inclusion.

Please Share with Your Friends

Please share this notice with your friends and consider posting announcements of our link on your blogs and websites.

Contribute Your Work

Please join the growing community of contributors and hosts for this important international forum for genuine voices of AIDS. If you are interested in hosting the ICP, please email me and I will make the process as painless as possible. We have hosts lined up through March, 2008, but we are seeking hosts from April, 2008, and beyond. I hope that you will consider signing up to host a specific edition of the ICP.
