253 New Cases of HIV/AIDS
Posted by Pozziepinoy on 5:59 AM
Things come into my mind. Where are they now? How are they coping up? How old are they? Who are they reaching out to? How strong is their support system?
I know that it's hard dealing with the reality of finding out that one is positive. Been there done that, as the saying goes. But what's more hard is the fact that once a person becomes positive to the virus, he or she will need to make the commitment about the lifetime monitoring of the progression of his infection, the mental and physical preparation for treatment, the financial burden it may cost and the conviction that while there is no cure yet, one has the responsibility to prevent the spread of it.
So to the other new 252 pozzies, try to reach out and start reading blogs or do your own researches. There are things to do. It's your health and it's your life. Like what everybody says, HIV/AIDS is not a death sentence now. We can all survive through all the struggles and have a long life.
