We are fighting against COVID 19, but let’s not forget that we still have a battle with AIDS/HIV. Today we show support to those who are fighting this disease, and remember those who have succumbe to it. There are 36.7 million people who have the virus and more than 35 million people have died of HIV/AIDS still making it one of the most destructive pandemics we have faced in society. 45% of young people between the ages of 13-24 are unaware that they have this virus, and it just goes to show how important it is that parents need to be more active and involved with their kids sexuality, and speaking with their kids especially today in this hyper sexual society.
We live in a world where we pride ourselves on having love, compassion and understanding. We need to stand together everyday to ensure that we educate not just ourselves, but the future generation. We have come a long way in the fight, but there is still a long way to go. People are living longer and better lives due to the new treatment options they have. However prevention is better than cure so stay safe and protect yourself by knowing your status. You can be committed to someone, that doesn’t mean they are totally committed to you, so protect your love and wrap it up! There are many organizations that offer free confidential testing in the clinic, and now-a-days we have the option to do in home testing. The 2020 wrap up, while we cover our face, let’s not forget to cover our penis’ as well.
