-2011-November 11- Speaker: AIDS Vancouver presents touching documentary “We Were Here” to promote “Positive Change” AIDS Vancouver Board Vice-Chair, Bradford McIntyre opened the commercial premiere of the documentary "We Were Here – The AIDS Years of San Francisco" sponsored by AIDS Vancouver at VanCity Theatre. Bradford McIntyre, a long term survivor living with HIV since 1984, introduced the feature length documentary “We Were Here” and shared his own experience living with HIV. After the screening, Bradford moderated a 20 min Q & A session with director David Weissman, via Skype.
“In We Were Here, director David Weissman vividly captures the reality many of us faced in the early years of the HIV epidemic. Back then there was no support out there for people living with HIV and stigma was so vehement. People living with HIV/AIDS had to create grassroots networks to take care of one another; fight for treatments and human rights and educate the public to break down the barriers of stigma. Thirty years on we have come a long way in addressing these issues those generations before fought for. However, with over 33 million HIV infections worldwide, we must continue to act and support people living with HIV, by never faltering to advocate for HIV/AIDS awareness.” reflected Bradford McIntyre.

-2004-April 27- Request for permission to quote Bradford McIntyre : Theodore de Bruyn, Senior Policy Analyst for Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network working on A PLAN OF ACTION to reduce HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination; contacted Bradford McIntyre requesting permission to quote comments Bradford made on the draft Plan OF ACTION in December 2003. Quotes by Bradford McIntyre included in: A PLAN OF ACTION for Canada to reduce HIV/AIDS related stigma and discrimination
by Theodore de Bruy
for The Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network

   "There ARE individuals who are OUT about their HIV status who are NOT afraid to speak up. What is necessary is media coverage not of new medications and side effects, or individuals sick and dying, but interviews with HIV+ individuals who are living!"
   "Who better to reach people than those who are living with HIV who are not afraid to talk about the fact that they are iving with HIV. People need to see others living with HIV who are out about their status, in order to move away from the fear."
   "Many people world wide are out about their HIV status and many many more are voicing they would also like to be able to live without fear and let others know they are living with HIV. Unfortunately, the fear of discrimination still exists today, and this prevents many from feeling safe about revealing their status."
