AIDS Activist Launches TV Website

AIDS activist Richard Hollingsworth launched a new website in February that broadcasts the daily activities of his family’s life over the internet 24 hours a day. The site can be found at www.theaidschannel.com. The colourful AIDS activist has generated worldwide media attention in the past, first gaining attention for putting his blood into paintings that were exhibited to raise awareness about AIDS. Then he captured the public’s attention by crossing the US border with TV cameras in tow to expose US customs refusal to let HIV+ people enter their country. Most recently, he gained international notoriety for trying to sell his corpse (after he dies) on the Internet to fund AIDS research.
