_______________________________________

The very day that I was diagnosed of HIV/AIDS, wasn't the day of my decision to make my life memorable. Yet it was the day to mourn, to cry and shout as if the whole world listens to my clamor, the blare of my mistakes. Which on that day, i wanted to go back on that past and fix the mess, so that i won't have what  am i facing at the present.

Horrendous to think it this way, but i was frustrated to know and depressed. Knowing HIV/AIDS is the most horrific virus which dominates in the entire world and kill millions of people in Africa, USA, Europe and even Asia. Added on that nerve wracking fact was " I am positive." I can't consider my self as normal anymore, from the stigma which i would be getting from people whom i know would mocked and scorned somebody who is battling from this illness. Lastly it is not CURABLE.

Yes, Science accepted their defeat from finding effective medicines, and powerful vaccines to stop this epidemia. How am i supposed to think of myself, and where should i position my self and considered that everything is normal. This mind boggling issue hits my life fatally ill. Asking why Science we're lazies! Why Science boasts  great inventions in things, gadgets,space shuttles,  but the little capsule the tiny vaccines to prevent and cure this terrific virus- they can't do. WTF. Yes, i think as crappy as hell.

May 15th 2011, marked the 28th year of the candle light memorial in the entire world.  This event is the most special and the most sentimental- as the world will be looking back on the past years which the "People Living with HIV/AIDS struggled to live a normal and a happy life. The theme "Touching Lives" wants us to open our eyes and listen to the cry of many who suffered from HIV/AIDS. And this is also a commemoration day of the victim of AIDS, the people who died bearing this  illness of the century.But  still the world of Science has found no cure to stop the epidemia.
