FIGHT AIDS FOR GOOD
There are an estimated 33 million people with AIDS worldwide. AIDS has become a universal health problem. It affects every country, city, and town in the world. And, the most frightening thing about it is that is going largely unchecked and the trend is continue to rises.
Half of all AIDS cases involve people 13 -24 years, even worse it also put their children in the highest risk group for having AIDS. AIDS has taken away the futures from many people. People who supposed to be enjoying their live and building their dreams. Those who have been taken by AIDS not only could’ve been a doctor, a nurse, an engineer, a pilot, a president, a scientist, a cook, an astronaut, a soldier someday in the future but also they are surely a son, a brother, a sister,a husband, a wife, a father, or a mother to some of us.
To stand a fight against AIDS is everyone responsibility. We can not leave it to the government or some great people up there. It all start from us, the future is depend on each and everyone of us.
How do AIDS spread?
Mainly AIDS spread through sexual contact, blood transfusion, or contact with bodily fluid (for medical provider), but the trend right now is it spread through needle use among drugs addict. Unlike flu or any other contagious disease that will show their manifestation in a short time, AIDS takes years before you actually realized that you are infected with it.
How to prevent the spread?
There are several things we can do to prevent the AIDS spread.
- Have a SAFE,SAFE,SAFE,SAFE SEX. AIDS spread through sexual intercourse, and as we know we all did sexual intercourse in our life. Well some people don’t, but they’re just a small number. So have a safe sex, be loyal with a single sexual partner or just simply use condom.
- Use UNIVERSAL PRECAUTION when dealing with people bodily fluid. Especially if you are a medical person or laboratory personnel. Hand gloves is a must and beware of sharp object like syringe needle.
- Stay away from drugs, and even if you can’t, be selfish with your equipment. If you just can’t stop using drugs then make sure you use needle only for yourself. Don’t use a second hand needle and don’t let others use your needle. Kind a hard stuff to do though, cause you can not think that much when you’re high. So the best way is STAY AWAY FROM DRUGS, it give you nothing but a disaster.
Should we avoid people with AIDS?
Definitely NO. Those people are just as human as we do. AIDS don’t take away their humanity, so treat them just as you treat others. Bear in mind that we fight AIDS not people with AIDS.
SO IT ALL START FROM US, IT ALL START NOW.STAND UP AGAINST AIDS FOR A BETTER FUTURE IN OUR LIVE.
