June is AIDS Awareness Month

This month is AIDS Awareness Month. With the prostitution becoming rampant and our youth's outlook on sex becomes more liberal, HIV is now becoming one of the fastest ever spreading virus in the planet.

Its high time that everybody should be made aware about the dangers of HIV and AIDS. In recent studies, most people cannot even distinguish the difference between HIV and AIDS and cannot even define them and their differences. What is more saddening is the fact that being unaware about the dangers of HIV and AIDS puts more people to risky behaviors along with their families to contacting HIV.

In order to make Non-Government Organization's (NGOs) goals work, it must be backed up by citizens who understands the nature of the opponent, which in this case, the HIV virus itself.
The fight against HIV/AIDS is long and the development of HIV vaccine is yet far from our reach. Cure and effective vaccine is all our hope to stop this society's menace. Citizens of the world, and all policy makers should all unite to fight HIV/AIDS now!

Local HIV/AIDS Conference

I was riding a jeepney along Balibago (Angeles City) when I happened to see a banner that says about conference HIV/AIDS blah blah blah... I was curious but did not gather enough urge to get off the PUJ (Public Utility Jeepney wehehehe) and join the conference (as if haha!). Too bad I wasn't able to snap a picture (which I usually do) lest, my precious phone might get snatched by unscrupulous citizens. =D (Bad me hehe).

I've always been interested in issues regarding HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis and other communicable disease and have planned on taking Medicine back in college but poverty killed that dream! LOL! I'm still battling with it but I think success is not yet within my reach. But looking at what I have gone through in life I believe that being a winner is relative and money is not always the basis to being a winner. A lot of rich people aren't even happy with it. My dad used to tell me that happiness should always be our end goal in whatever things we do; be it in our personal lives such as in a relationship and our work, i.e. professional lives.

Well, I just hope that scientists will be able to find the cure for these diseases soon and develop a vaccine to prevent others from being infected, too. Be safe everyone!
