December 1 - World AIDS Day - Eternal Allegiance

[ SARAH ] · 12-01-2003, 10:08 AM

Today is World AIDS Day, if you didn't know. This is an issue I feel very strongly about. I don't know how anybody could just sit there and watch this happen to millions of people. An estimated, 42 million people to be exact. And 3.2 million of those people are under the age of 15. The problem isn't getting any better. If you can, please donte some money or just take some time to learn about AIDS/HIV. And at the very least, wear a condom. Help stop the spread of HIV/AIDS.

I just want to say thanks for putting this up, I think we really need to spread the word on this, I was going to put up a post earlier but didnt know what words to use. We need to educate people on safe sex and sharing of needles etc. Its so sad to see people being wiped out, lets get the message out and save people.

Thank you for replying.

It's sad that we've only gotten one response out of the many people that visit here everyday though... So many people just don't know the facts.

Great post Sarah.

More people need to be aware about this, and if they are, just care a bit more about other people and themselves.

Thats the whole point, People dont take the time to read the facts, learn the facts and share them and help educate other people. Sometimes they only learn the facts when its too late unfortunately.

I didnt actually see the concert but I heard a lot about it. Its great that a concert like that takes place and I have a lot of respect for Nelson Mandela.
