okay..so yestrday was WORLD'S AIDS DAY!!well..so wats d big deal abt it..its a new fad celebrating arbitrary dates giving dem arbitrary names..mother's day..fathers' day n wat not!!nuthr eccentricity of d americans!!dats wat most of us think..n dats wher v r wrong..terribly wrong!world's aids day aint "just another day".its a day fer us to revive our consciousness..our awareness..our resolve to fighting dis deadly disease!!
d world needs to wake up to the fact dat aids is NOT a taboo.its called d modern day's Pandora box..not widout a reason!d situation is evn more grim in our country...india being d largest aids affected population in d world!n wat makes d situation worse is dat people are so secretive even evasive abt dis issue.jus d other day i was talking to a friend of mine..a perfectly educated ,well aware individual n i happened to mention my stigma about d apparent unaware attitude of d people towards d disease thinking he wud undrstand.n was i shockd wen he told me that "such things" shud nt b discussd in public!!its nt smthin to be advertised!!people know about it."SUCH THINGS"!!!its a bloody disease..n a deadly one too!!if people are so well aware den cn plz someone tell me dat y d hell do v have d largest aids affectd population in d world!!!n more shockin was d fact dat it was coming frm him!a person brought up wid decent education!!wat wud it b fer d general masses widout evn d basic knowledge abt so many things!v need to rise..v need to stand up to eradicate dis illness wich is crippling d society in more ways than one!!
contrary to d popular belief aids is not only transmitted through indiscreet sex..its not only a sexually transmitted disease.in fact it can spread through so many other means..blood transfusion is another major cause of aids..as is injection of needles infected wid HIV virus...mother to child transmission during pregnancy n so on.its also a popular myth..in many parts of the world that having sex with a virgin can cure aids!!it cannot b more hell raisingly false!!n dis has sadly lead to to so many more cases of rapes n aids especially in Africa!!!appropriate measures need to b taken fer d eradication of dis disease..sadly no drugs are available yet which can cure d fatal disease n uproot it completely.the only weapons available wid the medical fraternity are awareness n precautions!!
in India d situation is uglier because here the hiv+ patients are socially ousted..dey r abandoned by d society..treated as untouchables..looked down upon as cursed.small children affected wid d disease are left to die by their families.wat was d fault of these little souls..???y have they been subjected to such miserable lives???isn't dat basic human spirit..smthin wich differentiates us from animals...to b kind to d ailing..to serve d suffering!den y r dese people considered a curse for the society???y r dey deprived of their basic rights!!aids doesn't spread by physical contact,by sharing same clothes or food or staying in d same place.its high tym they stood up fer their rights..d need of the hour is that at least the youth of the country..d educated and the aware people cast off the shackles of age old senseless beliefs and stand up fer makin india a better place where each has a right to live wid dignity!!
"v need to fight aids and not people wid aids"
"stay informed.stay safe"
