De-mystify sex. Promote safe sex. Protection is the only solution! " - Raje, Canada. [BBC]
There are so many people living in the world today, coping with the knowledge that they may one day succumb to a disease that has taken their family, their friends and those that they hold dear. There are others who face a daily battle, who's only life line is a cocktail of drugs that keeps their worst fears at bay and there are others who die alone, in dark corners forgotten by those who they once called family, shunned and ostracized from the society that once held them dear.
Aids and HIV are not faceless diseases. They are not ones that live in regions unknown. They strike without prejudice, whether the person is a child, teen, adult or the venerabley aged. Aids touches the lives of daughter and sons, husband and wives. Mothers, fathers, uncles, aunts, grandmothers and grandfathers. In your own home, the neighbour next door, the child who plays on your street or a person who lives a thousand miles away. There are so many stories, so many people, brave, strong, generous, and scared. Please read or listen their stories. Get to know them. Reach out.
