World Aids Day: Dec 1, 2012

Some people have asked me in the past, why I post from time to time things about AIDS.  My reason is that I feel people are still very uninformed about HIV/AIDS and some still treat those who are affected with distance and fear. 

I want people to be aware of how you can contract the virus and how you can prevent it.  The reason that I want people to be aware is because I have seen visually the deaths of some who have had AIDS and it is something I would never want anyone else to ever have to experience seeing or having. 

We have came so far today with out medications and are making radical improvements in the treatment of the virus.  MANY people in Africa and the US, as well as other countries,  have already received the ARV pill and over just a few months they are healthier looking and also this pill prevents mothers from passing it to their children!  This is a major step in radicating AIDS.

I just want to say to others... Don't be afraid...be informed!
