High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! People With AIDS (PWA) Self-Empowerment Movement is a social movement of those diagnosed with AIDS/HIV and grew out of San Francisco in the early 1980s. The PWA Self-Empowerment Movement believes that those diagnosed as having AIDS should "take charge of their own life, illness, and care, and to minimize dependence on others". The attitude that exists throughout the movement is that one should not assume that their life is over and will end soon solely because they have been diagnosed with HIV and AIDS. PWA can be pluralized or singularized to also refer to person with AIDS/HIV, it is a common initialism in medical and mainstream communities. Although most of the earliest organizers have died, and organizations dissolved or reconfigured into AIDS service organizations (ASOs) the self-empowerment and self-determination aspects of the movement continue. Possibly the best known example of a continuing PWA group is AIDS Coalition To UnleashPower (ACT-UP), which has chapters around the world and has had great success bringing attention to and change regarding issues concerning PWAs.
