UNAIDS Staff Member Carries Olympic Torch 22-1-2010 | Eric Sawyer, a UNAIDS Staff member and a member of UN Plus, a CCISUA partner, carried the Olympic torch on Wednesday morning, 20 January, 2010, in Calgary. Eric ran three blocks from 24th street and 17th Avenue. 10,000 people will carry the torch across Canada in a process that is meant to bring awareness of the Olympics to residents in the host country of the Winter Olympics. Eric Sawyer represented people living with HIV and wore the red ribbon on his collar in a symbolic gesture of solidarity with the many people living with HIV who do not have access to anti- viral medication. He also ran in memory of the millions who have died from AIDS. Eric was diagnosed HIV positive in 1981 and although doctors informed him he would die within two years, he has now lived 30 years with HIV and is leading a productive and positive life.
