World AIDS Day

December 1st was world AIDS day and I guess most people did not even give it a thought. I think the 33 million people world wide who are living with HIV/AIDS (AIDS.Gov) may have thought about it and felt deep regret that they had not taken precautions before it was too late.

I have written articles about the research regarding circumcision and aids in the past. If you would like to read then go to benefits of circumcision and to snip or not to snip.

When AIDS was first diagnosed we were bombarded with advertising and I still shudder when I remember the grim reaper ads. They would scare anyone into abstinence. Now we never hear anything about the explosion of this disease.

As parents it is vital that we teach out children about safe sex. Most young people today know about AIDS but what they don't think about is that it cannot be cured. If you want to educate your child about HIV/AIDS but don't know where to start then go to AIDS.Gov and go through the information there with your children. Perhaps it will save their life.
