The Positive Project™ Launches New Website User Interface
Arroyo Grande, CA, November 06, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Moon Valley Software co-sponsors prominent HIV/AIDS non-profit organization, will attend 2009 United States Conference on AIDS
The Positive Project, a non-profit awareness, advocacy, and prevention organization in ongoing partnership with Moon Valley Software, has expanded its website through a new user interface, offering over 1,500 searchable interview videos from those infected or affected by HIV/AIDS. The new website, which is already up and running, builds off an earlier version engineered and maintained by Moon Valley, and will continue to add interviewees who represent the full range of HIV/AIDS-related experiences, from diagnosis and coping to treatment and changes in daily life.
The new website focuses heavily on video clips to offer a humanized, first-person perspective on the disease, furthering The Positive Project’s stated goal: “To provide a mechanism by which people infected/affected by HIV/AIDS can share their experiences with those who can benefit from hearing them, to use their stories for a greater good.”
Demonstrating Moon Valley’s enduring support for these goals, Senior Software Engineer Jerry Riggle will join representatives from The Positive Project at this weekend’s (October 29-31) United States Conference on AIDS in San Francisco. The conference, hosted by the National Minority AIDS Council, is the nation’s largest AIDS-related gathering, drawing in participants from all sides of the issue, from physicians and public health workers to policy-makers, to work toward addressing the challenges of the disease.
Moon Valley’s involvement with both the Positive Project and the conference was a no-brainer. “Shortly after agreeing to pitch in, we fell in love. If you spend 5 minutes listening to just a few of the many stories, you're engaged,” said Pete Ryan, CEO. “The mission of the Positive Project […] is right in line with much of what we do everyday for commerce on the internet. Choosing to direct some of that energy and know-how to a non-profit such as the Positive Project was an easy decision.”

The Positive Project
According to the website, The Positive Project grew from the collective experience of a pair of mental health professionals; it was established as a non-profit organization in 2000. Their experiences with individuals infected or affected by HIV/AIDS led to the realization that few ever hear the firsthand accounts from the afflicted themselves. The result was The Positive Project, which seeks to shift the focus from the disease itself to the real people who deal with it every day.
CEO Pete Ryan discussed how Moon Valley became affiliated: “We were asked by a business partner if we could help them. It turns out that one of their employees is a board member and put out the word that The Positive Project could use a technology partner.”
The Positive Project is accepting donations online or by mail at The Positive Project, 1221 South Clarkson Street, #302, Denver, CO 80210.
National Minority AIDS Council
The National Minority AIDS Council has been at the forefront of HIV/AIDS awareness, advocacy, and research since its in inception in January 1986. This year’s USCA conference is the thirteenth hosted by the organization. NMAC represents a coalition of 3,000 HIV/AIDS service organizations and other dedicated people delivering services to the HIV/AIDS-afflicted nationwide. They are wholly funded through private donors.
These are the topics for the 2009 USCA conference: Building Healthy Organizations; Care and Primary Care; Housing; International Issues; Prevention; Public Policy; Special Issues; and Treatment and Research.
