Youths must fight HIV/AIDS
Thursday, June 26, 2008
It has been a negative addiction amongst the HIV/AIDS positive people to point a finger to the nearest soul for their infection from long back. Hey! People, blaming somebody is just time consuming and a curse on our lives. Time wasted on thinking about somebody can instead be utilized on finding the right cure for the disease. The sensitive question which arises from this "blame attitude" and needs to be treated systematically is "how does blame transform your status?" There is no logical answer. I am therefore, appealing to Batswana youths, whether HIV/AIDS positive or negative to get dressed to defeat HIV/AIDS. I find it momentous to direct this to the youths because the disease has conquered many youthful lives since it was first discovered. Even today, the statistics reveal high rates of infections amongst the youths. So guys, let us stand up for our lives.
If you are HIV/AIDS positive, take no heed of what people around you are saying, go for treatment and live positively. If you are negative, I am suggesting to you the threes' which are Safe sex, Save your life and Support those infected by the disease. Remember the ABC alphabets. It is upon us the youths to use the provided weapons to fight against HIV/AIDS until we destroy its roots. If infected, get armed with antiretroviral drugs so that your life is prolonged. If negative, keep it tight through abstinence and safe sex. Let us all condomise for condoms are the weapons against HIV/AIDS. Imagine, a nation free of HIV and AIDS. It is the responsibility of all youths to make sure that we accomplish this so that our dreams turn into reality. Let us make sure that future leaders do not perish. Peace.
