HIV+If you haven't heard, yes. I am diagnosed positive with HIV. And as today marks the 21th Anniversary of its discovery, I would like to share this with you.
Having HIV is not like what it was in the past decade. People living with HIV/AIDS itself will understand. People without it are often encased in a stigma of uncertainty.
However, it's not about the human immunodeficiency virus I am talking about here. No, I don't have that so you can breathe again. Think of HIV+ as this:
Health Is Valuable (Positive)Current HIV/AIDS education has often most likely fallen onto alot of deaf ears. They've tried everything from print ads, tv slots, movies, flyers, and millions and millions of dollars spent on HIV/AIDS Awareness programs. How many percent of respondents actually give a fuck? (pun intended). Yet the number of people infected keeps rising and rising by the second.
Health Is Valuable (Positive) is a viral campaign ^
estudio started on Facebook today, which made a huge handful of people nearly shat their pants when he changed his status update. The stigma of HIV+ being AIDS has been too prevalent in the last century, which was evident from some comments he received from doing this. His facebook status was merely: "Evangeliss is HIV+" followed by "Health Is Valuable (Positive)" as its subcomment. We do not fear it as much as we used to. We hear about it, we brush it off our shoulders. We think. We even celebrate it.
The Health Is Valuable program is to re-educate the masses with regards to HIV/AIDS Awareness. Value YOUR life. Be positive about it. Whether you ARE indeed HIV+ with AIDS or not. It's time to change your mindset. Already I've seen a few people changing their status to the same and increasing by the hour! We've heard it already: "Wear protection. Don't share needles. Be safe"... But do we? Everyday? And why do I have to "joke" about this, one asked.. This is no joke. Many people learn things, but the information goes from one ear and out the other. This is a shock-and-awe approach. It makes you tremble with fear of the reality.
Change your stigma. Stop your ignorance. If you don't have it, doesn't mean you won't. So you might as well believe that you ALREADY have HIV+ (of course, my version of it). THINK. RESPECT. PROTECT. Together we can end HIV prejudice. If you dare, tell the world you are indeed HIV+. Say it with me: HEALTH IS VALUABLE (POSITIVE). This is one HIV+ you wanna spread! And I dare you to do the same by doing a "Hi. My name is _______ & I am HIV+" journal.
I totally stole this from ^
