Despite termination of the opening net profit of 1.5 million €
the previous year exceeded

Since 1993 the Life Ball - since then attract endowments this unique annual charity event money, which allows numerous national and international institutions to lead the fight against the spread of HIV and AIDS and support to people affected directly.

In these 18 years, the Life Ball has been through a lot - criticism, envy and malice are today almost as usual in the reporting. For some it was the "unbearable Schicki Micki-event" - some find it "boring and non-colored" - for others who witness it for the first time, he is simply "the highlight". Now - each for its position. Is problematic, only that many of the critics forget their sensational and celebrity-mania, what's going on: So far no one has the monetary success of the fight against HIV and AIDS made ​​but the Gery Keszler, the initiator of the ball, always again succeed. This year it was also due to the collapse of the government-mandated demolition of the storm until then to change anything really impressive opening: € 1.5 million for relief projects are available.

That the Life Ball, this year about 2 months later than usual, had walked across the stage, due to the fact that he opened to the XVIII. International AIDS Conference, formed from the 18.-23. July at the Vienna Exhibition Centre took place. This meeting is the world's most important and largest platform for discussion and publication of scientific, social and political developments in the field of HIV / AIDS and approximately 25,000 participants gathered for direct experience with the theme "Rights Here, Right Now".

Many believe that AIDS and HIV, they would go for nothing. Yes they are neither gay nor a drug addict. However, this is a great mistake: More than 20% of new infections in Austria in 2009 came about through heterosexual contacts! The results of a study on HIV and AIDS in the spring of 2010, is sobering and frightening at the same time: There is great lack of knowledge, is looking away and burying many of the strategy for dealing with this problem.

Although AIDS is treatable, which means infected people can live on despite their often long-term infection - similar to other chronic diseases. There is still no cure - and for many this means the disease while social isolation, exclusion and isolation.

For all of us, whether hetera / straight / bi / lesbian / gay is one thing: the reliance on the common HIVTests or blind obedience to the old, stubborn and autocratic leaders in the Vatican are complete nonsense! There is only one way to fulfill his sexual life and still enjoy carefree: SAFER SEX.
