World AIDS DAY

World AIDS Day

Government and health officials, non governmental organizations and individuals around the world observe the day, often with education on AIDS prevention and control.

Spread the WORD and not the VIRUS meanwhile don't stigmatize those living with the virus, you can't get it by living with them except you have sex with them or share materials that can cut through the skin with them.

A friend in the early hours of today said having anal sex with them can't promote transmission of the disease 😄😃 My friend you're wrong

Anal sex is the highest risk sexual behavior. Receptive anal sex “bottoming” is riskier than insertive anal sex “topping”.

Aids can be transmitted through the following

Blood
Semen
Pre-seminal fluid
Rectal fluids
Vaginal fluids
Breast milk

BUT NOT through

Air or water
Insects, including mosquitoes or ticks
Saliva, tears, or sweat
Casual contact, like shaking hands, hugging or sharing dishes/drinking glasses
Drinking fountains
Toilet seats
Swimming pools

Every 1st of December we raise the awareness, mourn those that have died of the disease and show love to those living with it.

The campaign continues, stronger,better and informative. When it started in 1988 it sounded as if those health professionals talking about it were clueless; when they said it has no cure. Later on those living with AIDS were stigmatized. But now we got more information than we had back then. So we can coexist in their midst without having issues except if....... LOL.....

Happy World AIDS Day
