HIV Awareness...

I've posted this in a couple of places, and just because of the seriousness of this post, I felt I should post it here too:




I've posted this video before, but I felt the need to post it again. My philosophy when it comes to sex is you either need to practice Safe Sex or NO sex... this is keeping in mind that even with "Safe" sex, there is still a chance of contracting this horrible disease. I've heard people say that this disease is not as bad as it used to be, but they are sadly mistaken. Unless you are rich, you most likely will not be able to afford the drug coctails that are used in the treatment of this disease, and sadly there is also no cure for this disease.

A side disease that has started re-appearing, and you could see it on the guy's skin in this video, is Kaposi's Sarcoma. Although it is possible to contract this disease in other ways than being infected with HIV, people with HIV are at an increased risk of getting it. For information on Kaposi's Sarcoma, please visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaposi_Sarcoma
