We are not alone in the stigma and misinformation...

With all the information and talk about HIV, I was blown away at the IGNORANCE of someone in her profession. But I put this out there because the only way to change this is to get people informed ... and many many people are misinformed. WE can be the change. We have to stop tolerating poor behavior and ignorance.

Wow. This is appalling. Yes, ignorance is another virus that's equal opportunity. It can happen to anyone ... We're just one of those movements in this world that is moving toward awareness, inclusion and acceptance. The world as a whole is moving that way ... Slowly ... Churning ... People are waking up. And it's happening one by one. And then things like this remind us there are plenty who act before thinking or consideration. Even more opportunity for us to step up and continue to offer understanding instead of ignorance.

The thing is, I can get it that Herpes is misunderstood because it's not discussed in the public but HIV has been discussed soooo much that it brings me back to reality of the ignorance of so many when I see something like this. AND it makes me more determined to keep educating people about OUR condition.

 

I have a great idea for an informational commercial - now I just have to find some way to get it funded :)

I have a few friends that are white with HIV.. && I know they have it. I never judged them or was scared of them, because it wasn't their fault.

It just shows how ignorant a lot of the people in the world really are..
