December 1st is World Aids Day!
December 1 has been designated World Aids Day nationally. It is a time to raise awareness of HIV and Aids. It is an opportunity to educate ourselves about these viruses and how to prevent the spread of them.
Although it has been designated a day, we would like to include it as our monthly health awareness topic for the month. It is something we should be keenly aware of every day. It gives us an opportunity to do our part in the fight in eradicating this deadly disease.
Due to modern medicine, people who contract this disease are living longer lives. But make no mistake, there is no cure for it. Our best defense is education and prevention.
HIV is spread through bodily fluid contact with an infected person through •Blood
•Semen (cum)
•Pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum)
•Breast milk
•Vaginal fluids
•Rectal (anal) mucous
