Today 1st of December is World Aids day, is it a day to be wining & dinning? Is it a day to remember people who has gone as a result of this AIDS? Is it a day to scold our government for their own contribution to the spread of the virus? All this questions and many more inspired me to take my pen and contribute my quota as we are celebrating another world Aids day. I want my Father land in the nearest future to record #‎ZERO percent HIV/AIDS infection. Before I proceed, it is important for me to give brief introduction to this deadly virus. HIV (Human Immuno-defficiency Virus) is the virus which when enter our body system and not detected early can lead to AIDS(Acquire Immune Defficiency Syndrom). When this virus enter human body, is major target is the body soldiers(imune system), when it done with this sytem, that is when opportunistics infections will be showing. There are several causes of the infection, such has unprotected sex, sharing of unsterilized sharp objects, blood transfussion, from mother to baby during child labour or breast feeding. This virus if early detect can be scientifically managed with anti-retroviral drugs, so this is why its important to go for HiV counselling and testing. Unfortunately, many people has contracted this virus as a result of ignorance. It is important to point out that, not all that have this virus are promiscuous as many get it from their first lover while other from other mode of contracting it. So let us all say to #‎Stigmatization against people living with Hiv/Aids. There are association of people living with other ailment as well such as Diabetis Millitus, Cancer. People having Hypertention (High blood pressure) need to be managing it as people living with HIV/Aids, so why discrimination?. I will be left with conscience if I don't highlight simple method formulated for the prevention of HIV/AIDS. I call this method A-F method. A simply means Abstainance from sexual intercourse, B: Be faithful to one un-infected partner, C: Correct and Consistent use of condom, D: Do not share un-sterilized sharp object, E: Encourage HIV counselling and testing and F: Follow up. Let us all join hands together to make our country, our world HIV/AIDS free. Collective hands rescue mission, so please re-broadcast this write up to safe life.
