What i am about to write would be a controversial issue. I just want to talk about the way HIV AIDS is beign publisized. It is making it more of a trend than a taboo sickness. Recently in a national daily in my country someone who is blind was saying that an HIV + person gets more respect than him. I was shocked and i ask myself what is the truth. HIV AIDS is a deadly diseas that has no cure and kills millions each year. It has been reported to have killed more people than any war has.
Yet it is something that can be prevented and avioded, in the developed countries a major source of infection is through sex also the same in developing and underdeveloped nations. So to tackle the problem let us go to the root.
Sex is an act that some see as sacred while to others it is just an action, yet it has deep meaning and consequences.Sex is meant to be an act of copulation between two p[eole whather straight or gay. But inb situations when more than one person is invovled then risk occurs. most people who get infected through sex is as a result of one's partner beign unfaithful, so then why do they become celebrities as a result of their unfaithful act? To me tyhe only one's who really need help are the children, wives of unfaithful men and vice versa, accidental infected people maybe through work exposure. Sorry to sound biased but it is the truth. Someone sleeps around gets AIDS starts a campaign on discrimination against PLWHA and feels he/she is a good role model. If we are to combat any issue and ADIS we should preach that sex should be avoided and be done only between a couple be it Gay ( in this case there most be commitment) or straight(strictly marriage) ande tell the youths especially that sex is a major source and condom is not a preventive measure it is only 4 pregnency only.
