EUGENE — Jeffrey is a bisexual white man; Jerry is black; John is a former methamphetamine addict; and Chris is a young gay man living in Douglas County.
All are HIV-positive Oregonians who will share their stories as part of a statewide marketing effort aimed at stopping the disease’s spread.
The Web-based campaign, called HIV Stops With Me, starts June 13 at hivstopswithme.org
Visitors to the Web site will be able to ask questions of the four men and tap into resources.
The campaign deals with sex and condom use and raises themes such as responsibility, communication and disclosure.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is funding the campaign.
The CDC estimates that 25 percent of the roughly 900,000 Americans who are HIV-positive don’t know they have the disease, which can stay dormant for years.
