30 years of AIDS and at this time still no cure. Treatment and ways of keep those who are diagnosed with HIV alive longer while living productive lives. The best way for protection against being affected for HIV is the use of protection during sexual encounters at all times. I was young during the beginning stages of the world dealing with this new disease. The faces of HIV and AIDS now does not discriminate teenagers just discover their body’s and sex along with older individuals who have found their sexy!
It is discussed more then when I was younger. It is no longer discusses as if it is a dirty secret. It affects more they Gay men or as they used to say Africans and yes Haitians. They face of AIDS does not discriminate. There still need to be a push on education on sexual health and protection against sexual disease in general. The Middle School were my daughter attends Health Ed teacher discusses sexual disease. Not discussed in the class were condoms in protecting against sexual diseases. Honestly I think young children need to learn about waiting to have sex, using condoms if it is decided and the complete consequences of the act of sex.
Yes there are better ways of treating HIV and AIDS to make life easier for those living with it. In my opinion preventing it is a matter of taking your life in your hand by using latex condoms all the time and making sure to test to know your status. While continuing to educate young people on not only HIV but on there body’s to treat it like a temple because you are only given on chance at life. So I will continue to have the condom talk with my daughter and not having sex until she is way older and mental ready for all that comes with being sexual active.
