Hello bloggers I went to the men's infected panel last night and it was an awesome experience the men on the panel just opened up to us about their lives and about living with HIV. Listening to them and their stories just made me want to get out and tell the world about HIV and how to protect themselves. I honestly think that everyone every where should be required to take this course. I just kept thinking last night if only there was some way to bring interest to the topic HIV we could make a differnce.
Did You Know...
Every 30 minutes someone from the age 13 to 24 is infected with HIV. Every 9 minutes someone is infected from all ages. Also if you did not already know that African American women are at more risk for infection. It was said last night that HIV is kinda like a poverty virus and this is because of lack of education.

These numbers are crazy "every 9 minutes someone in this world is infected with HIV". For this reason alone I think people need to be for aware of the virus, and education needs to be the forefront of the discussion. I still think that most people do not know about the virus, and need to be taught safe sex and how you can get it.
ReplyDeleteThe numbers you posted are scary, but it is reality. The men on the panel made it a point to let us know that it is up to our generation and I firmly believe that. We have been given the knowledge and we must pass it along. I am so glad that I took this class!
