HIV and AIDS

I want to know everyones opinion about HIV and AIDS but in my opinion I think THIS issue could be at its end if everyone just got the proper sex education. I personally think that we should have a donation just for HIV and AIDS prevention the world would be for the better. Does anyone have any views which are different or the same to mine? please give some feedback.

Yes you made a point there but another things is how effective this sex educations are taking down to our rural areas hopefully yourself have been informed about HIV, what about people who don't even has access to informations??
Eh that reminds me, i was travelling on a public bus last week and I over heard two street huckers carrying groundnut and orange as they challenge each other on educational backgrounds..the first boy said, I got common enterance, i got school cert etc.. astonishly, the other boy expressly voicing to the other, ok myself I have HND, i have PHD and I have HIV etc...
So education, how far we are taking it down to everybody ?

Here is a research project I did for school in regards to ways that media has played a role in communication.
NaSoMa -- an organization in Namibia that distributes condoms and works with the people in the country -- wanted our class to help them with their project that was about exploring the potential of communicating (visually without language) messages to Namibians at public shebeens.
My research was centered around visual communication and education on HIV/AIDS within Africa and abroad.

Well HIV/Aids is a hot topic and I think what should be done is first to ensure that we as a society accept that HIV/Aids is just as normal as any other disease infection. Care should be taken jusdt as one can safe guard from Malaria, Typhoid etc. Another thing is to remove the stigma associated with HIV/Aids in the society. This, I have noted should come from those infected themselves. If indeed we want to be accepted in the society, we must learn to accept our conditions in the first place. How then can we say that we are not accepted if we do not allow ourselves to be free from self preservation? HIV/Aids is just normal. The first step of the acceptance is to go and know your status and then regardless of what others say, if you are positive, let others know how to protect themselves or how to live positively. It will be one thing we can do to contain the scourge. Remember, not any illness can be eliminated completely, but we can reduce the effects it has on our societal socio-economical aspects. So FRIENDS let us get to know our status and start by healing our souls. PEACE AND LOVE.

Sex Education is indeed a need. For only by a improving level of understanding and awareness can we end the wrath of HIV/AIDS.
Nevertheless, we need to consider also teh right strategy and the right approaches to teach about this.
To some country talking about sex is tough taboo. Sex is condemned to be talked about although in a positive way. This create a difficulties to the young people eager to learn about it. they thet it from wrong resources. Perhaps the approces and the terms used should be vary.
To develop country this is a strong need. eanwhile we need to cast our eyes to countries where women trafficking and woman -used-as sex slaves are common. These group of people are difficult to reach. They are uneducated and victimised by the situation, thus continue to be the vehicle for the virus to spread.
Putting an End to HIV/AIDS will take a long long process... but it is not imposible. It takes whole lot of people with heart to make a difference ot walk side by side and create a tremor in the social system thus enable us to introduce and come up with new ways to over come this.
MDG may be one... but it takes more than just countries and government pledge to soleve it. It takes ACTION... and it need to start NOW

Well, sex education will do. But I advocate for enlightment of even the school children, being careful about how we educate them though.
I believe while some people are harnessing resources to find a cure, some of us can provide an atmosphere for an HIV free generation by educating the teenage generation and less about what lies ahead.
