‘At Home With’: Tony Valenzuela Reflects on the Importance of World AIDS Day
World AIDS Day always brings up mixed emotions for me. It’s certainly a day to honor the memories of those lost to AIDS-related illness, especially in the early days of the pandemic when there were no treatments or medications and very little hope. But even with the advancements in medications for those of us living with HIV, and the fact that an HIV diagnosis is not the death sentence it once was, it makes me a little uneasy when people wish me a “Happy World AIDS Day.” I’m not sure happiness is what’s called for.
I invited Tony Valenzuela, executive director of the ONE Archives Foundation, the longest-running LGBTQ organization in the country, to chat about World AIDS Day on an episode of At Home With on Instagram. The organization is celebrating 70 years of service to LGBTQ communities this year. Tony has been active in the HIV and LGBTQ communities for decades and has a wealth of knowledge about culture, sex, queer people, HIV, and more.

Event Details
The National Association for Health and Fitness (NAHF) was founded in 1979 by the President’s Council on Physical Fitness, Sports and Nutrition and has as its vision that America shares in the social, economic, health and environmental benefits that come from living an active lifestyle. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for all individuals in the United States by promoting physical fitness, sports and healthy lifestyles. We also champion environmental and policy support for active living and encourage and share innovation in the United States. NAHF values active living (integrating physical activity into daily lives), community involvement and leadership development for all social sectors, promoting quality physical education in our schools, developing workforce health promotion programs and active-aging programs. With our focus on the states, NAHF “bridges the gap” between federal and local action and unites researcher and community practitioner.
America’s “challenge” of inspiring and empowering people to be physically active is vital to our nation’s human and economic health. At no other time in NAHF history has this Association’s mission and innovation in the United States been more relevant. NAHF members have been leaders in presenting capacity-building national meetings, development of user-friendly behavior change programs, and recognizing excellence and advocacy for policy and environmental support of active living through our annual Gold Star Awards and Glenn V. Swengros Award. Our award-winning worksite health promotion, Global Employee Health and Fitness Month, has resulted in thousands of employees leading healthier lives! USA school districts, universities, state and local governments, hospital systems, pharmacies, and public health departments have all been participants in the GEHFM initiatives.

Cervical Health Awareness Month
The United States Congress designated January as Cervical Health Awareness Month. More than 14,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer each year, but the disease is preventable with vaccination and appropriate screening.
During January, NCCC and its many local chapters across the country highlight issues related to cervical cancer, HPV disease and the importance of early detection. While NCCC chapters host events throughout the year, January is a month with a special focus as chapters celebrate Cervical Health Awareness Month and work to spread the word in their communities.
NCCC and the American Sexual Health Association (ASHA) also offer a range of resources (listed below) to educate the public and healthcare providers about cervical health, from fact sheets to episodes of ASHA’s Sex+Health podcast.
What Can You Do?
As someone who is interested in educating and advocating for increased knowledge of cervical cancer and HPV disease, you can do a lot. You can contact your local media to encourage coverage of Cervical Health Awareness Month, offering this ASHA/NCCC press release. You can also send this proclamation to your mayor, or local legislative office to publicly recognize Cervical Health Awareness Month.
You can also check out the resources on this page—download, display and distribute our cervical cancer awareness month posters and help NCCC and ASHA get the word out on social media.
