Aids Awareness
Today was National Aids awareness day. This is truly something that needs to be recognized and brought forth. I made sure that it was taught to my clients. What I have to come to realize is that GOD shines his light on me everytime I step out of his glory to do my dirt he has kept me HIV negative. At a alarming rate people are being infected with this deadly disease all because of the negligence of the carriers of this deadly disease failing to disclose their status to those they are intimate with. Do these individuals realize that it is a felony to do that. Simply it is attempted murder, because you chose to end this persons life without their consent. "Current penalty for failing to inform a sexual partner about one's HIV status from five years to between five and 15 years. A person could face life in prison if he or she fails to notify a partner and that person then contracts." Thats really fucked up that in Chicago there are a lot of people who are with this disease and failing to disclose it with they are intimate with. In my experience, I was talking to someone who was infected, not once did he mention "oh BTW, im positive" nor does his A4A disclose such necessary information. Just recently I found out that this person was positive and I could do nothing but jump up and down and thank GOD for once again sparing me because I was never intimate with him, let alone touch him or allow him to touch me. Ill be the first to admit Im a human rights advocate, but I dont condone people doing that. This may be the main reason that Im not sexually active . Simply I refrain from sexual activities because I am afraid of death. People have no regard for LIFE. And I am not ready to die. People are going around sleeping with people when they know they got the PACKAGE OF MANY UNRETURNABLE GIFTS... and being negligent by not disclosing their status to us Negative folks. Now I am a person with a VERY VERY high sex drive but I am PROUD of the Fact that I can say I AM HIV NEGATIVE. My motto has been "Abstinence is the best precaution(living by it) and if you must have sex wrap it up. Another thing that I have found out is there are different strands of the HIV virus and even sleeping with someone who also has it is detrimental to your health. Try and live by the ABC's of AIDS prevention Abstain: Indisputably, abstaining from sex is the best way to avoid becoming infected.Be Faithful: If you choose to have sex, be monogamous - striving to limit your exposure and creating strong relationships.Use Condoms: when abstinence isn't an option for you, and you are not in a monogamous relationship, always use condoms. And even using condoms is not 100% safe. For more Information you can always Go to Centers For Disease Control.

Very nice..just keep yourself safe.
I like you ABCs. You said it best in latter part of your post. People need to protect themselves or obstain.
I happen to believe the felony law that you mentioned should be removed. A law like that keeps people ignorant to their status. If a person knows he or she is high risk they will continue to go on feeling it is better not to know than have confirmation. If they don't know they are infecting people they can't be charged. What the law really does is take the responsibility away from the so call victim and places all blame on the tranmitter. I will have to say that people have to take personal responsibility for their own protection. Why do people leave it up to lairs to tell them the truth about their status. I always say its such a morbid feeling to go around saying to yourself treat every and all sexual partners as if they are infected. But it will protect you in the long run.
If people care of themselves and their own protection many would be better off.
