The older I get, the closer to home HIV comes. Close in the fact that I know a few people that have it. That's a few people too many.
December 1st is a day that's considered World AIDS Day. I have a proposition for that day. I propose to raise awareness of this horrible disease, everyone posts a fact about HIV/AIDS. Even if you think it's a fact that everybody knows. You'd be surprised how many people, today, don't know that HIV can be spread through shared needles.
All you need to do to participate in this campaign is to do these three things....
1. Share this Awkward Moments Post with your family and friends. Through Facebook, Twitter, whatever you feel is the best way to do this.
2. Take this time to research. If you don't have the time to research, go ahead and come up with a fact that you learned all the way back in grade school.
3. When you've found a fact, post this on your Facebook, Twitter, etc.
The more knowledge the people have, then the more likely people will protect themselves from this disease. As the saying goes, "Knowledge is power."
There is no awkward picture for this post. This is a little too serious to post a picture. So please, spread this around. If you have time, research. If you don't, that's all right. Let's see how much awareness we can come up with for this disease!
