As I reflect on World Aids Day, there is still much stigma about the disease. Much of it, I fear, is borne out of ignorance and denial. Women, blacks, Latinos, Asians, and other minorities are still underserved when it comes to education and services. The government still would rather see this issue disappear but that is not possible because many people have been lost to AIDS.
What got me thinking about AIDS is seeing folks would lost friends/partners/family members still hurting after many years. Transgender people are much more devastated by AIDS than other groups.
As I reflect on this day, I pray that much will done to find a cure. Young people coming up need to be made aware of risky behavior. Most of all, the fact that AIDS affects ALL of us.

Hi,
1 in 4 sexually active teenagers become infected with an STD every year, in the United States alone. Now, more than ever, we need to join together to fight this growing issue. As I read through your website, it is clear that you share the same passion for STD/STI awareness. We here, at Disease.com, understand the importance of STD/STI prevention and treatments. If you could, please list us as a resource or host our social book mark button, it would be much appreciated. We can not reach every teenager, but together we can try.
If you need more information please email me with the sublect line as your URL.
Thank you,
