AIDS affects you. Whether you are consciously aware of it or not, you have personally been affected.
You know someone living with HIV. You may not know they are positive. They might not know they are positive, as it is estimated that 1 in 4 infected people do not know that they are infected.
AIDS is not discriminatory. The virus does not know you are black, white, or green. It does not care if you are Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Mormon, or a good little Christian girl. It certainly does not care if you are straight or gay.
I’ve lost three friends to the virus. I have at least three friends that I know of who are HIV positive. This does not compare to some of my older friends who have watched almost ALL of their friends die.
If you have ever listened to radio and heard a Queen song, or danced along to Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Relax, you have been affected.
If you have ever watched Magic Johnson play basketball, or Greg Louganis dive from the high dive, you have been affected.
If you have ever watched a movie and enjoyed Rock Hudson or Michael Jeter’s performances, you have been affected.
If you recognize even one name from this list, you have been affected.
I will say it again, in bold, in case you aren’t getting the point.
You have been affected.
It is up to you to not get INfected.
