Kayla - I could not agree with you more - AIDS is EVERYONE's problem - and people that do not understand that or are judgemental re people afflicted with this "virus" are ignorant and IMHO need to be sent to a HOSPICE for terminally ill people with AIDS just to see what life is like for some of these poor souls. If you have cancer everyone feels sorry for you - if you are HIV+ all anyone usually wants to know is how you got it - that is - you MUST have been doing something you were not supposed to be doing.

I am VERY active in the fight - and it is a fight - to educate the public re HIV. I also know several HIV+ people who are doing very well thanks to the meds now available in this and the more civilized countries. But in Africa it is a whole "nother" issue - and I take our government to task re the rather usless meds they are trying to dump on the Africans....
