About ProjectAccept.org
ProjectAccept.org aspires to become the primary voice and vehicle of those affected by persistent viral STDs worldwide, including HBV, HCV, HIV, HPV & HSV. The reason for this is simple: united, those impacted by persistent viral STDs represent one of the largest, most powerful organizations on earth. Divided and isolated, as they are now, they make very little impact on the social stigma regarding these viruses or the cures for the viruses themselves.
We do not believe in discrimination between virus types. In fact, we see the discrimination between them – particularly by fellow STD-affected – as concrete evidence of the enormity of the social stigma and the challenges ahead.
Our Vision:
There are untold billions of people on earth affected by persistent viral STDs: HBV, HCV, HIV, HPV & HSV. Combined and organized, they could make a far greater impact on both the social stigma surrounding STDs and the accelerated research for cures.
Our Mission:
To gather together all individuals and groups affected by STDs into one social movement; to organize and empower the community in order to fund ProjectAccept.org which will combat STDs on the following fronts:
- Awareness: To raise public awareness of both the present and the potential impact of STDs on the uninfected and their loved ones
- Acceptance: To combat the stigma surrounding STDs: to make life for the affected easier, while fighting the spread of the viruses through more open conversation and understanding
- Virus Research: To combat the disease(s) medically, through independent cure research
