Acceptance VS Rejection
Equalization VS Stigmatization
Hope VS Fear
Which would you choose for a HIV Positive patient?
went for a HIV awareness talk today. it enlightened me about HIV and how society is treating these HIV patients.
HIV is not curable at the moment. But it is not a death sentence either. Even though they carry the virus in them, they to can lead a normal healthy life with the advancement of medical care. why is the society ostracizing them? Why can't we just treat this as any other illnesses in the world.
What if, unfortunately, you or someone that u know is infected with this virus? How will you react? Think twice before u answer. So many people with HIV out there are not depressed because of the illness, they are in despair due to how society and people around them view them.
What these people with HIV want is to be given a chance, and not sympathy. You can make a difference. Play your part. we should understand and try to accept them as part of the society. After all, they do have eyes, heart, lungs, liver... Stop discriminating HIV people. HIV doesn't kill, but discrimination kills.
