Impulse Beijing started on October 2015, we focus on several ways of fighting HIV, online and offline events. Promoting and free testing on site during our events is one of our main assets. We offer a safe environment for gay people to have fun and get tested.
By October 2016, there were a total of 21,886 HIV infected and AIDS patients in Beijing, 66.03 % being MSM. Homosexuality is still considered taboo, and the lack of acceptance of gays is the greatest problem to contain the HIV epidemic, so fighting against discrimination is also very important in our city.
Sexual transmission accounts for 94 per cent of HIV infections.
Ranked 5th among the top 12 Metropolitan Statistical Areas for cumulative AIDS cases in 2009, the Atlanta MSA bares a disproportionate burden of the state of Georgia’s HIV/AIDS morbidity. More specifically, approximately two thirds of all newly diagnosed cases in Georgia can be found within the Atlanta MSA. Fulton and DeKalb counties alone account for over 50% of newly infected cases.
The Georgia Department of Public Health (Georgia DPH) recognizes the importance of allocating and leveraging resources based on need.
To this end, the Impulse Group Atlanta will focus on the following 5 counties that collectively account for 60% of the state’s total HIV/AIDS morbidity; Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb-Douglas, Clayton and Gwinnett counties respectively. Efforts to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the Atlanta MSA must take into consideration a confluence of factors including the current demographic make-up of the jurisdiction, socio-economic trends, existing services and related structural and environmental factors that impact the efficacy of HIV services and related outcomes.
