TODAY AT MY COLLEGE, THE AWARENESS FOR WORLD AIDS BEGAN WITH A PROGRAM IN HENDRIX THEATER HOSTED BY A PANEL OF INFECTED HIV AND AIDS MEN AND WOMEN OF DIFFERENT AGES. I FOUND THEIR STORIES TO NOT ONLY BE REAL BUT VERY POWERFUL. ALTHOUGH MOST STUDENTS WERE THERE TO GET CREDIT FOR THEIR HEALTH CLASS I WAS THERE TO REALLY LEARN AND TAKE IN WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY , AND I HOPE OTHERS WALKED OUT WITH AT LEAST HALF OF THE EXPERIENCE.
THE YOUNG MEN STOOD OUT TO ME PARTICULARLY NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR YOUNG AGE BUT THEY WERE STRIKINGLY HANDSOME AND ONE WOULD NEVER KNOW. I COMMEND THEM ON THEIR BRAVERY TO STAND IN FRONT OF HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS AND SAY THEY WERE HIV AND AIDS INFECTED. I DON'T THINK I WOULD HAVE HAD THE SAME COURAGE.
SO IF YOU ARE A FOLLOWER OF MY BLOG PLEASE WALK AWAY WITH THIS MESSAGE, GET TESTED AND EDUCATE YOURSELF, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER AND IGNORANCE WILL NOT MAKE IT GO AWAY, BE SMART AND HELP SPREAD AWARENESS TO YOUR FAMILY AND PEERS ABOUT WORLD AIDS DAY!
