Talk:AIDS Walk

Larry Kramer

A thought experiment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought_experiment

During the upcoming Walk for AIDS is it possible that one person will meet another who has an HIV infection, whether they know it or not, and have sex? Is it possible that infection could be passed along to an uninfected person? Considering statistical information on the spread of HIV, could it happen at least one person after meeting another person during the AIDS walk will get infected? Two people? Three people? Four people? More? How much money is raised by the Walk for AIDS? How much does it cost for a person's treatment from when HIV infection is detected until death?

Is it possible that the AIDS Walk will result in enough new cases of HIV and AIDS to consume all the funds generated by the event? --the zak 18:17, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

You might want to read more about Larry Kramer, who co-founded GMHC and later wrote that it should be shut down. He didn't suggest stopping the Walk though; an afternoon walk is a healthy exercise in itself, and if it also reminds people of the continuing spread of the disease, it may (or may not) reduce new infections. Although a 'thought experiment' may not require data, reliably sourced objective data would certainly make it more valuable, and the same can also be said for the whole article.TVC 15 (talk) 21:31, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

WP:RS

This article cites no sources (see WP:RS), and contains typos, and could benefit from careful and thorough editing. I made one edit today, am leaving the rest, presumably the existing authors and editors can bring up the article to WP standards when time permits.TVC 15 (talk) 21:21, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Needs to cover more than just Los Angeles

There are now AIDS Walk events in many other places; I was just in one in San Francisco a few weeks ago.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  10:14, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
