Lorraine Teel is the Executive Director of the Minnesota AIDS Project (MAP). Founded in 1983, 2008 marks the 25th year of service for MAP. MAP envisions a world free of AIDS. Our mission is to lead Minnesota’s fight to stop HIV through advocacy, education and service. We stop HIV the “social disease” by making sure the public has current, accurate information, individuals use their legal protections responsibly, and we are all engaged in creating smart public policies. We stop new infections by providing effective education, especially for those at highest risk as well as to the public at large. Finally, we stop the devastating effect HIV has on people’s health by ensuring their access to health care and the services they need to use that care.

MAP provides prevention and outreach services for Minnesotans with questions about HIV transmission, testing and services. In addition, MAP offers targeted prevention programs for gay and bisexual men, gay and bisexual men who also inject drugs (primarily methamphetamine) and for all other injecting drug users and their sexual partners. MAP also operates the AIDSLine, both a telephone and web-based service for those with questions about HIV, including the capacity for live chat. MAP also provides range of supporting services for those living with HIV throughout the State of Minnesota.

Finally, MAP works on the advocacy issues related to reducing stigma and discrimination and to insure that those at risk for or living with HIV are treated fairly. Our work in this arena includes advocacy both at the State capitol and in Washington DC to insure that non-U.S. born Minnesotans are treated fairly and that international relief efforts to aid those affected around the world by HIV receive the services and support needed.

Rana Ghose is currently pursuing doctoral research at the Institute for
Development Studies in Brighton, England. Prior to this, he had spent
two years freelancing as a filmmaker, video trainer, and photographer
for IDRC in a variety of countries, and prior to that, he was involved
in full time academic research, first as a graduate student in
economics and then as an intern with IDRC. His research interests
address genetically modified crops in India and the regulation that
surrounds their management, while his experience over the past two
years has convinced him of the power of using video as a participatory
research tool. Research and the visual medium are, in his opinion, and
due to his applied experience in each, forever to be linked in his
future work. He takes a lot of pictures.
