AIDS has been existing more than 28 years, but until now, there’s still no vaccine that can effectively curing the AIDS patients.

Frankly, I discovered that most of the people have no idea of how the AIDS being transmitted from the AIDS patient to another healthy person! They’re very ignorance, as they thought even by a simple handshake with the AIDS patients, they might being infected with HIV!

Come on, guys! We should try to be more mature in this case. Honestly, I’ve been volunteering myself as one of the volunteer workers at the AIDS care center when I was studying in college. In the center, I saw many AIDS patients were suffering, not for being ill, but they’re being lonely, as no family members or friends want to visit them at all!




I remembered there is a young little girl named “Rachel”. She’s an orphan and had been dumped away by his parents into the dumpsite, soon after birth! She always asked me a same question, “Uncle Wilson, why I didn’t have father and mother? I wish I can have a parent like my classmates did!” When I heard her confession, my tears fall off my face instantly…

Those children were innocent and we shouldn’t judge them based on their disease! Show your sympathy or compassion to them and let the little ones know, that there’s still many people loving them in this world…!

When I first heard it from my friend, Ralph, I was about rotflmao… (Sorry, I can’t control myself from stopped laughing)

Recently, there are three recent African trials claim that male circumcision is effective to reduce the risk of getting HIV. However, after some period, the Cochrane Researchers have changed their perspective and said it has not evidence that male circumcision can prevent HIV infection!

Although some of the researchers found out that circumcision might be able to help protect against HIV, by simply remove cells in the foreskin (Langerhans cells), which is being identified as the main receptor that enable HIV entry into the body.


However, there’s no solid evidence that proof that the circumcision can be really helped to prevent the infection of HIV until now. Maybe the researchers should be concentrated themselves developing the drugs that can cure HIV effectively, rather than this unpractical circumcision stuff?

The Purest Fear of HIV Disease

January 3rd 2009 07:34
Sometimes, life can be too tough for us to handle with. Honestly, nothing is more important than our health. By the way, can you ever wonder the life living in fear of possibility getting infected by HIV? Well, I can tell you that this is the most torturing moment and it’s totally beyond of your imagination…

Nowadays, although we can proceed the HIV test with the HIV Home Test Kit, but most of the people still didn't have the courage to do it! I have a friend, (Sorry, in this case, I have to keep some privacy for her!) where has been living in fear of having HIV. For your information, her husband was having affairs without the acknowledgment of my friend. She was only knew that her husband has been diagnosed as the HIV patient through the medicines that being consumed by him continuously. After the truth has been revealed, she was upset with his behavior. As a result, she has decided to divorce with her husband.

Well, it’s truly the sadness thing to have the unfaithful partner, but the even more devastated matter here is she afraid that she will have the chance of being infected by HIV! Just like many other people, she refused to take the HIV Test in the local clinic or hospital, as she doesn’t want anyone else to know this embarrassment condition. The fear of HIV has started to disrupt her daily life and she's was nearly being haunted by the HIV Phobia! She were very desperate about this matter. Hence, she has visited me two months ago, and has asked me the permanent solution for this problem.

Since she resists and don’t want to take the HIV test in the local hospital or dispensary, therefore I’ve suggested her to undergo a simple HIV test, by using the HIV Home Test Kit. Well, the HIV home test kit is very easy to be used and the users can get immediate result after only 5 minutes!

God’s always have his eyes on his beloved children. After three months of Window period, and a few time of HIV tests with the home test kit, the whole tests shown negative results! She was relief with the result and now, I can see her beautiful smile again…

A piece of advice to all the Orblers and my beloved readers, “always faithful with your partner and stay away from all the unmoral affairs!”

The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS or also known as UNAIDS has been declared 1st December as the “World AIDS Day” since 1988.

According to the UNAIDS recently report, there are now over 35 million people living with HIV, including 2.8 million children! During 2007, there are 2.5 million people became infected with the HIV virus and around half of the people who become infected with HIV are killed by AIDS before they reached 35!

For those that still blurb about HIV and AIDS, then you should take a few minutes and read on the following statements…

The meaning of the acronym HIV

H is for Human, because the viruses infect humans.
I is for Immunodeficiency, because the virus attacks the body’s immune system, weakening it so that it cannot fight other deadly diseases.
V is for Virus, as this virus belongs to a group known as retroviruses.

The meaning of the acronym AIDS


A is for Acquired, which it means a person gets HIV from another infected person.
I is for Immune referring to the body’s defense system which protects the body from diseases.
D is for Deficiency, making the immune system deficient.
S is for Syndrome, which refers to a group of illnesses taking place at the same time.

HIV can be transmitted by:

Direct contact with infected blood.
Sexual contact with an HIV-infected person.
HIV-infected mothers to infants, during pregnancy, delivery or breastfeeding.
Sharing needles with drug users, who are infected with HIV.

HIV Cannot transmitted

By insect bites (However, you’ll get Malaria, Dengue fever or Chikungunya from the mosquito bites!)
Through the air (You won’t get infected by coughing and sneezing.)
By hugging, touching or handshaking.
By living in the same house.
By sharing food and water.
