I have a dream, a dream that someday this world will be a better place. A place where HIV/AIDS will be curable. It will be like the flu and we will simply take shots, get plenty of rest, and be fine in a couple of days or so. We will no longer be dying from this virus. We will live free from the fear of this wicked disease. We will look back and say, “Oh wow! We really conquered AIDS, somebody shout amen to that.” As we celebrate the “World Aids Day,” let’s take a moment to acknowledge the loved-ones we lost due to this horrendous disease (May their souls rest in peace). Let’s not forget that even now some of our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, and grandparents out there are still struggling with this disease. Let’s not criticize or desert them, but show them love, kindness, and understanding because no one is aware of what tomorrow holds for them. Although some of our loved-ones refuse to admit that they are infected and choose to believe that it’s work of sorcery; let’s not laugh at them. Let’s be open and encourage them to get medication (ARVS). Let’s pray and hope that they soon find the road to the hospital (TASO) for treatment.
