When there's too much profanity almost everywhere, I wonder why we're too critical when it comes to HIV and AIDS. Aside from being fatal and fierce, we attach labels of social stigma and disgrace to these conditions. Too many people have suffered and died, so the least we should think about is discriminating the victims as society's unwanted.
AIDS is a sexually transmitted disease, hence, there are more chances of transmitting the HIV virus through intercourse. So why do we need to shun physical contact? You can touch them and heal their souls. All they need is for you to show them even a bit of compassion and kindness. Even the intimacy of kissing cannot transmit the
deadly virus to your partner. So where's the love?
A peck on the cheek or even a sweet touch of your lips can pass on
love and care. Kissing is so powerful that it can soothe the ailing heart, even of a distressed AIDS victim. If you really want to make contribution, do away with the myths and misconceptions. Search for truth behind the disease and help strengthen their faith. Two decades from now, AIDS may still be a scare but once you care, you'll help alleviate the social conditions of those in despair.
