It is World Aids Day, and it is common to hear news about the disease. Five of every Filipino have been testing HIV positive every day. Two HIV AIDS victims have shared their stories on how they caught the virus. Two of them were OFW's. The first one did not really enjoy using a condom during his sexcapades while he was still working abroad. The other one was gang raped by five men in Saudi Arabia, I supposed. Catching the disease is bad, and what makes it worse is to be discriminated by others. The Philippines wishes to reduce the number of AIDS victims by 2015. It seems that the number is increasing instead. The government must give off proper education on the disease, or it is also left to the people to learn about it. It is a serious case, and should not be taken lightly. The WHO stated that the reason why more Filipinos have been affected by HIV AIDS is the lack of education on the disease and that condoms are not accessible. If the people are afraid of the church, the pope already promoted condoms.
