Its our secret

chichi · Senior Member

its just people being ignorant but i do feel sorry for people who catch AIDS from people that knew that they have it. I mean imagine if someone did that to ur child, or any of ur close relatives. Thats why we need more people to educate our young. Parents should take time to have talks with their children and really educate them. As Africans we really tend to turn a blind eye and not talk to our children which is a very big mistake. Even schools should also educate the children and the parents on how to communicate about this virus. More people are dying just because of lack of information and poverty thats the reason why people keep it a secret. A person can still have their privacy about this and still have the information and still do the right thing. It doesnt mean u have to tell the whole world that ur living with the virus. What people dont know is that u can re-infect urself not only infecting others. Just speeding ur way to the grave. So please people lets educate ourselves and others when it comes to this virus.

AIDS is rampaging Malawi like a wild fire out of control, efforts are being made to let the cat out of the bag but we choose to have a deaf ear to it and continue our wild ways, i feel sorry for those infected and encourage them to start the ARV therapy those not affected to keep it real and stay away from it with all possible ways. Be very careful with the doctors, dentists and all those who use needles not forgeting whores and gigolos.

To be honest, we should really be warning ourselves abuot eachother . The sad , and fatcual part about HIV/ADIS transmission in sub-saharan Africa is that the rate of transmitting the virus occurs faster amongst the upper class and the educated. In other words, ur probably much better off sleeping with a prostitute over ur buddies - this means that ur more likely to get AIDS from the people that have access to this post then from someone in the villages in most cases ---- do urself a favor -- If you think ur man /woman is cheating, especially those living abroad , theres plenty of fish in the sea , there options ...u need to ask urself ---"Im I willing to die for this person?" --- otherwise look outside the community.... Its lke having a partner with a loaded weapon pointing at u (and please get ur mind out of the gutter) constantly, knowingly..if it was a real live gun pointing at u during sex, or just during everyday interactions..wouldnt u feeel uncomfotable ...? thats what the virus is a weapon that kills , think of it that way... it may explode at any time.. now if ur already in a faithful relationship and one of u has the virus, thats something that the two of u need to discuss, educated urselves abuot it.. many couples living with the virus (one or both partners) stay together,some fall apart, but these are all persoanll decisions, the greatest way that ur prtner can show that they care is by refusing to kill u knowingly, once ur partner knows at least u can take preventitive measures and make informative decisions ....

remember ---wrap it up

I totally second the idea of letting each other know so there are informed choices made. Tough as it may be, to really love someone is to protect them against all odds. Right now though i dont think am going to see so much on this topic cos it's normal for us to cheat without wrapping it up!!!! Some say 'why have a coated sweet at all????'

And what's love got to do with it anyway??? Choose life!!!! How many of us go willingly for testing anyway?!!! Ha! Ha! Ha!
