Blog #11

This week has been very difficult and stressful for me. I have dealt with many things since last week and I am trying to cope with everything that has happened. The bad part about it is that I feel that it is all happening at the wrong time, because this is the last month of school and all of my attention and focus needs to be on my academics. Even though things are going bad right now for me, I will make the best out of a bad outcome. I know all things happen for a reason, so the only thing I can do right now is to deal with the storm and have faith that the sun will shine soon.

Also, my friend is now dealing with the loss of her mother due to AIDS. It breaks my heart to see that she has to go through this, especially in college where she is no where near her family. I have tried to be the best support system for her through this time. Although I am going to always be there for her, I can only envision the pain she must be going through. There is nothing like losing your mother. However, I could not help but share with her information that I have learned from this class. To my surprise, she knew just as much as I did, but then again she learned through experience, whereas I learned through assignments.

DID YOU KNOW????


"In 2005, over half of new HIV infections diagnosed in the US were among gay men, and up to one in five gay men living in cities is thought to be HIV positive. Yet two large population surveys showed that most gay men had similar numbers of unprotected sexual partners per year as straight men and women".

"US researchers applied a series of carefully calculated equations in different scenarios to study the rate at which HIV infection has spread among gay men and straight men and women. They used figures taken from two national surveys to estimate how many sex partners gay men and straight men and women have, and what proportion of gay men have insertive or receptive anal sex, or both".

"They then set these figures against accepted estimates of how easily HIV is transmitted by vaginal and anal sex to calculate the size of the HIV epidemic in gay men and straight men and women".

  1. It is tough to lose a parent, no matter what their age or what causes the death. It is equally tough for a parent to lose a child, no matter the age or circumstances. We are never ready for death even though we know it is coming.

    My parents death at ages 89 and 92 came out of the blue. I wasn't expecting either of them to die so soon. I'm sure my father would have said and just when did you expect us to go. My reply, never.

  2. Nice touch, Teach. Very well said.

    I'm also sorry to hear about the mother. That is terrible news and I wish you the best the rest of this semester. It should be over in less than a month so hang in there!

    I guess it makes sense that the gay men numbers are over half if they have as many sexual partners as a straight man/woman does. That statistic is still very alarming considering they should be even more cautious of what they do.

  3. Although therapy has become more tolerable and once daily FDC tables have made it easier to adhere to prescribed treatment, it still requires that patients take their medication regularly to achieve sustained viral suppression. When treatment adherence is inadequate and replication is therefore not suppressed, But dr itua promised and fulfilled his promised to me as he said I will share his work to people that are suffering from Infertility, Herpes, Hepatitis A/B, Fibroid, HIV/ Aids, Alzheimer's disease, Arthritis, Copd, Diabetes, Liver/Kidney Inflamotry, Fibromyalgia, Parkinson's disease, I have read a lot of testimony online from Jesus McKinney,Achima Abelard and Tara Omar on how dr itua heal them with his herbal medicine I contacted him on Email drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com then we talk on whatsapp +2348149277967 he gave me instruction on how to drink it for two weeks then after drinking it for two weeks I went for test then I find out I was cured of HIV, I thank him allot i also send him some money for appreciation, Contact this great herbal doctor if you are a sick person.

  4. I'm Trisha Nelson, from the USA. I contracted HIV 4 years ago, I was told by my doctor that there's no possible cure for HIV/AIDS. I started taking my ARV's, My CD4 was 77 and the viral load was 112,450. I did research on a herbal remedy and I saw Dr. James Herbal mixed medicine, also I saw a lot of testimonials about him on how he uses His strong herbal mix medicine to cure HIV/AIDS and other illnesses. I contacted him and told him my problems, He told me not to be worried anymore that I will benefit and get cured of his herbal medicine for HIV/Aids. I never doubted Him because I believed I will be cured as nature has the power to cure all kinds of sickness when herbal medicine is being used in the right proportion. He prepared his herbal drink and sent it to me, and I took it for 3 weeks morning and evening in a quantity he told me, after that, I went for a check-up, and I was cured of HIV. His herbal mix medicine has NO SIDE EFFECT AND EASY TO DRINK, there's no special diet when taking Dr. James herbal mix medicine.
