It makes the fight against the disease a lot tougher. My homeland Zimbabwe has been hit hard by aids but they say that things are becoming a little better. People are now talking about it more but a lot more still needs to be done to get the message out for people to protect themselves and others. You would even hear horror stories about infected people deliberately going around and sleeping with as many people as they can so that they too are affected. <BR/><BR/>Watch the video here: <BR/>http://livingzimbabwe.blogspot.com/2007/11/hivaids.html<BR/><BR/>Feel free to comment.Gerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411329794593841869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23234049.post-53595075123158038702007-12-02T10:56:00.000-08:002007-12-02T10:56:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Gerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411329794593841869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23234049.post-18156776682979037422007-12-02T10:51:00.000-08:002007-12-02T10:51:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Gerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411329794593841869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23234049.post-69997123816313033272007-12-01T15:24:00.000-08:002007-12-01T15:24:00.000-08:00Kab625, it is sad.

Jamaica is on the top of the Amenisty Group Watchlist for Crimes against Humanity.<BR/><BR/>To kill a man with no remorse is sad, but to deny a baby medical care because that baby was diagnosed with Aids is wrong. <BR/><BR/>As a Nurse you understand that people fear things they do not understand. Years ago, it was thought that cancer by communicating with a person who has cancer in their body. Yes, we have come a long way, but sometimes ignorance is ingrained so deeply, it is hard to let go.iriegalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17624900201571871081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23234049.post-25216431325284062922007-12-01T12:51:00.000-08:002007-12-01T12:51:00.000-08:00Hi.

What a horrible thing to witness, and then backed by joy and song!<BR/>I assume you are refering to a lack of proper care to HIV victimes in Jamaica. As a Nurse, I have never personnally, or witnessed a co-worker mistreat a patient with AIDS. If anything, the opposite has been the case because we do realize it is not a gay disease, that it has affected each and every one of our lives. Most often, the sentiment amongst healthcare workers is "there, but for the grace of God, go I". The compassion and extra caring is real, I assure you. I could tell you many stories of how distressing it is to "lose" a patient who valiantly fights, who dies because they have loved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
