Day 2270: World AIDS Day 2016

“Observe a moment of silence and make a pledge to know your status, NOT stigmatize, discriminate and judge those infected #WorldAIDSDay.” – Criselda Kananda-Dudumashe

 

it’s 12: 02 PM on day 2270 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray,   read Lamentations 5:19   and work on my  25 Smiles Campaign    –raised $9 161.04 only  $3 338.96 more to raise to reach my second goal of raising $12 500 for Smile Train before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far ).

 

Today is World AIDS Day let’s educate ourselves more about the disease and stand in support of those infected and affected by the disease. Thou shall not discriminate against anyone with HIV /AIDS because HIV/AIDS does not discriminate – anyone could have it you, your mother, your father, your siblings or your friends it just takes one ill-informed choice or one unfortunate accident. Stop the stigma. Know your status.

Day 79

Everybody is HIV positive until proven otherwise – Unknown.  

It’s 7: 40 PM on day 79 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself Oats for breakfast,  created a Jango account – I really recommend that website if your a music lover – it allows you to create radio station and only plays songs by your favourite artists –    learn how to calculate Separable Differentials – it was so easy hopefully I’ll finish the chapter by tomorrow  🙂 –      feed myself  rice and curry for lunch     and exercise for 30 minutes – my legs where so still today that they would go straight no matter how hard my mother pressed on them – no two days are the same I suppose hopefully tomorrow my legs will be a lot more cooperative 🙂  

Approximately 5.7 million people in South Africa are living with HIV and although the rate of new infections has dropped there are still new diagnoses being made every day and today being World Aids Day I would like to make two things VERY clear – firstly, you CANNOT contract HIV through touching, hugging or kissing and secondly NOBODY who chooses to have unprotected sex is immune from contracting HIV – black, white or blue HIV does not discriminate. Do you know your status? 🙂
