Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome

Journal Entry: Fri Sep 21, 2007, 2:33 PM
  • Mood: Love










Introduction

Over 25 million people have been lost to AIDS so far, and 4.3 million people were infected with HIV in 2006. The spread of HIV is quickening, with more people infected in 2006 than in any previous year.

Why do I care? I care because it affects people I care about, I care.. because I'm human.

Information, education and communication are among the most important elements in the response to AIDS. To be effective information must be understood and believed and it's no surprise to anyone reading this that there is a negative stigma associated with this disease.

How Can I help?

I'm glad you asked, there are several ways:

:pointr: You can support *EveningDownpour in her Philadelphia Aids Walk

:pointr: You can sport the stamps and help spread the word in your journals by directing people back to this article



:pointr: Read the information in the links below and educate yourselves, educate your friends, your family, whoever. Get the word out about the truth and help us break the stigma.

:pointr: Steal the CSS and post information about this cause in your journal

:pointr: Sport the avatar

A birthday rhyme for you
on your special day :party:

Monday's child is fair of face.
Tuesday's child is full of grace.
Wednesday's child is loving and giving.
Thursday's child works hard for a living,
Friday's child fears no foe.
Saturday's child has far to go.
And Sunday’s child is bonny and wise in every way.
