Maybe...

 

Maybe it's just the 24 hour internet outage, the sidelined errand or crappy weather, but I'm not doing as well as I'd like.  I'm tired, anxious & cold.  The net's working, it's sunny & supposed to warm up.  Some issues are being handled.  Still it's exhausting.

There are articles out lately about "curing" HIV.  These things are being titled & worded as if they're just around the corner & they're not.  They get hopes up about research possibilities.  These things may never materialize.  Even if they do, it may years out.  

There was a point when education, awareness & prevention were major parts of the HIV battle plan.  Now, that has been cast aside for "treatment as prevention."  anxiousUnless it's medication, there's little discussion of prevention methods.  

In a world where the current generation has the lowest awareness & knowledge of HIV, it would seem like it's time to bring back the old model.  Many of these people don't really understand the concept of HIV, AIDS or the transmission of the virus.  Prevention is prevention, treatment it treatment.  Both are important & neither can replace the other.  It's not a hard concept.

Cya...
