Preface
One of the first thoughts that comes to mind when someone hears about AIDS is that only homosexuals can contract AIDS. That belief system is a huge myth. Contracting AIDS does not come from for your sexual preference but by the actions one chooses to take. Sexual encounters or sharing needles for drug use can leave you with more than regret. AIDS is an incurable disease and weakens the immune system causing one to become incredibly sick. Every 12 seconds someone around the world is diagnosed with AIDS, and every 16 seconds AIDS takes someone's life. Because there is not a magic word to say to be able to eliminate AIDS from the world, we have to start by taking small steps to help others in need. Starting by removing all discrimination against people who have AIDS is a huge step in the right direction. Another step towards combating the spread of AIDS is to take the little bit that we know about AIDS and spread it around our community, and to our family and friends. Starting small will help lead to big changes.
