I don't think any among us can say that we know no one affected by HIV. I personally have lost several friends, and every day see at least one child affected by HIV.
There are parts of Africa where AIDS is so rampant that the average life expectancy has been lowered to 31 years old.....that is just wrong.
Please do what you can to make a difference, if only to understand, accept and support.
I can say that I have never personally known someone who was openly hiv or aids positive.
That said, i still support this thread, and this cause. I think the resources that are spent worldwide to learn about / educate / fight against / etc sound be increased ten fold.
I have been unfortunate enough to have friends with HIV and one friend die as a result. I was one of the first to get to dispense Retrovir to patients when it was the only "drug" we had. At one point in therapy, they had to take 15-20 different pills a day. All with nasty side effects.
Now we have it down to one drug, taken just once a day. And vaccines are on the way. We have come a long way, but we still have a long way to go. And medicine is not the only key to the equation. Education is vital. Wear a condom!
