Today is World AIDS Day. Since 1981, the disease has afflicted millions of people all over the world. Everyday, at least 8,500 die from it. (I still hope that one day the collective geniuses of humanity would engender a cure for AIDS.) Personally, it couldn’t be any sadder: two of my closest friends have succumbed to the disease. It’s a terrible one and people are still ignorant about it. To some, it’s even a taboo (as if shunning from it helps resolve the issue). It’s high time the world has to talk openly and be educated about it. Ignorance begets discrimination. Consequently, victims’ lives get jeopardized. It’s an appalling vicious cycle. And we have to stop it!
Get educated and spread the message!
