HIV/AIDS Transmission

My name is Makana and I am a junior psychology and art major. I am from Hawaii, where the gay population is widely accepted. Through my current AIDS class I have learned just how ignorant I was. Much like an ignorant teenager, I thought that the idea of me contracting HIV was far fetched. I felt invincible. I realize there is still a lot for me to learn but I am more aware and better able to take the neccessary precautions to stay HIV negative. And I am better able to understand the faces who hold this disease. For those who are less fortunate, my prayers are with you and your families. I pray that one day there will be a cure. I am optimistic that miracles can happen. Please join me and my fellow classmates in the fight against AIDS. I believe that education is the easiest way to preventing the disease. So, please, spread the word! And have a blessed day.
