Most people are unaware, have forgotten or even knew that every December 1st is World AIDS Day. It is annual international day of action on HIV and AIDS. Since AIDS is not as shocking as it once was 20 years ago it is a very frightening at how it is still accelerating and no vaccine or medication to stops AIDS. The past few years I haven't paid much attention to this day or done the AIDS walk...but then my friends and cousin who were on the cocktails finally succumbed to AIDS and a very young 20 year old became positive(that blew me away - for me it's been so long that I know someone that young to be HIV+) this past summer. I know many people will express about other diseases or cancer that is just as terrible as AIDS and how AIDS is still getting too much attention(maybe they're right...or wrong), but this is one disease where it can be prevented.
That's all for now. I'm ready to watch volleyball this weekend, so guys and gals - play or watch volleyball and live your life to its fullest!
