It is primitive and a ridiculous notion that HIV can
be spread by touch.
It is unjust to prevent individuals from making a living
I am stunned at the ignorance of our City Officials.
Call the Mayor's office @ 404 330 6100

Mayor Franklin must take immediate steps to overturn
antiquated laws, that are so obviously discriminatory.

I speak from experience, as the one time President of
The Putnam Aids Task Force, 1982, in Putnam County, NY.
I dealt directly with the district Health Dept...and
we were educated then about the spread of HIV/Aids.
Where have our officials in Atlanta been for the last 25 years...

In December/06 the city of Atlanta overturned the City Ordinace that prohibited HIV positive individuals from working at their trade. James Dustin is back at work, working as a massage therapist. A victory for justice..and our human rights, to be gainfully employed.
