Today is World AIDS Day. A day that we remember those who have died or who live with this condition. A day we commit to no longer allow those who suffer with this condition to do so alone. We have come a long way in how we treat AIDS, however we have a lot more to do.
Sometimes we here in America, are too egotistical. We assume that how we live is how all live. We suppose that treatment here is available everywhere, or we simply forget or put out of our mind the reality of the rest of the world.I heard it described this way recently, "what I might consider minor surgery for you, becomes major surgery when I need it."
The purpose of World AIDS day is to remember, remind and recommit......there are many in this world who do not have the resources or the voice needed to meet the challenges of this disease. Lets not forget or abandon them.
