The Denver Principles (1983)
There is no better way to cite the history of the PWA self-empowerment movement
that to quote the principles articulated in Denver in 1983. They are as relevant and
powerful today as they were then.
THE DENVER PRINCIPLES
(Statement from the advisory committee of the People with AIDS)
We condemn attempts to label us as "victims," a term which implies defeat, and we
are only occasionally "patients," a term which implies passivity, helplessness, and
dependence upon the care of others. We are "People With AIDS."
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ALL PEOPLE
1. Support us in our struggle against those who would fire us from our jobs, evict us
from our homes, refuse to touch us or separate us from our loved ones, our
community or our peers, since available evidence does not support the view that
AIDS can be spread by casual, social contact.
2. Not scapegoat people with AIDS, blame us for the epidemic or generalize about our
lifestyles.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH AIDS
1. Form caucuses to choose their own representatives, to deal with the media, to
choose their own agenda and to plan their own strategies.
2. Be involved at every level of decision-making and specifically serve on the boards
of directors of provider organizations.
3. Be included in all AIDS forums with equal credibility as other participants, to share
their own experiences and knowledge.
4. Substitute low-risk sexual behaviors for those which could endanger themselves or
their partners; we feel people with AIDS have an ethical responsibility to inform their
potential sexual partners of their health status.
RIGHTS OF PEOPLE WITH AIDS
1. To as full and satisfying sexual and emotional lives as anyone else.
2. To quality medical treatment and quality social service provision without
discrimination of any form including sexual orientation, gender, diagnosis, economic
status or race.
3. To full explanations of all medical procedures and risks, to choose or refuse their
treatment modalities, to refuse to participate in research without jeopardizing their
treatment and to make informed decisions about their lives.
4. To privacy, to confidentiality of medical records, to human respect and to choose
who their significant others are.
5. To die--and to LIVE--in dignity. hiv/aids:awareness
