The mission of SafeForAll.org is to prevent the spread of HIV and to
help those who are affected by making HIV/AIDS
prevention education videos that are appropriate for families in all
the world's languages available for
free online.
SafeForAll.org is:
committed to scientific and medical accuracy
evidence based
not for profit
nonpolitical
open to all people regardless of race, gender, religious belief
or nonbelief, nationality, national origin, sexual orientation, etc.
committed to the principle that all people's lives are worth
protecting regardless of race, gender, religious belief
or nonbelief, nationality, national origin, sexual orientation, etc.
SafeForAll.org is focused on preventing the spread of HIV and on
encouraging people to change their behavior in ways that will reduce or
eliminate their risk of contracting or spreading HIV. SafeForAll.org
recognizes that not everyone will choose to live their life in a way
that eliminates their risk of contracting or spreading HIV completely,
so SafeForAll.org focuses on reducing harm and risk as much as possible
for people in all situations.
SafeForAll.org notes that the best way to avoid contracting HIV is to
abstain from sex until choosing a life partner, to
never inject drugs, to choose a partner who made those same choices,
and
to be faithful after partnership. (Opposite sex-couples typically have
the option to get their partnership legally recognized as a marriage;
in most places, same-sex couples do not have this option.)
SafeForAll.org
recognizes that some people will choose to be sexually active before
choosing a life partner. If people choose to be sexually active before
choosing a life partner, SafeForAll.org strongly urges them to reduce
their risk of
contracting or spreading HIV by making sure both partners know their
HIV status, using a condom or dental dam (as appropriate to the act)
every time for every sexual act, minimizing the number of total
lifetime partners, and being mutually faithful with a single partner.
SafeForAll.org strongly urges people to never use illegal drugs and to
never misuse prescription drugs. Using illegal drugs has many risks
including: death from overdose; death, sickness, or injury due to
impaired judgment while under the influence; severe (and sometimes
permanent) physical and mental health effects; addiction; and
incarceration. However, SafeForAll.org recognizes that some people will
choose to use illegal drugs, so SafeForAll.org focuses on encouraging
people who use illegal drugs to reduce their risk of contracting or
spreading HIV as much as possible.
SafeForAll.org does not take any position on questions such as:
which sexual acts between which people are allowed according to
various belief systems
the origin and nature of sexual orientation or sexual preference
and whether it is fixed or can vary over time
the existence or nonexistence and nature of God
which religion, if any, is the "right" one
SafeForAll.org recognizes that people who are involved in the fight
against HIV/AIDS, including those of us at SafeForAll.org, do so for
various reasons and are sometimes motivated by a personal belief
system. Similarly, people who are HIV positive may find personal belief
systems relevant in their effort to lead a healthy life. As a result,
people interviewed by SafeForAll.org may at times may make passing
references to their own belief systems. Similarly, people who are part
of an organization addressing HIV/AIDS may describe the nature of their
organization and how addressing HIV/AIDS fits in to the organization's
mission. However, such statements are the responsibility of the speaker
only and do not necessarily represent the opinion of SafeForAll.org.
