05-11-01: US Must Augment HIV/AIDS Funding
We need to work on this issue as it is posted at this web site and
others we need some immediate support for this Pandemic (World Wide
Epidemic) to be curbed before our clients, yours, and my loved ones
are affected personally.
I have 2 teenage sons and thank GOD I live in America where the risk
of exposure is less yet still a great threat! I have taught both of
my sons about safe and safer sex, knowing full well that a teenager
will do the opposite of what they are told to do I hope they heard my
plea for them to think before the hormones do a number on them and
they pay for it with their lives, the rest of their lives as little
quality as it maybe after they contract the virus HIV and then sub
come to the deadly disease AIDS.
