    "Do we need a door?"-Daryl

    My cheeks are still red from today. It's quite an amazing feat for me to even get the top 50 for merentas desa (granted, it was a very close shave). Seriously, I can't remember anything from the run. I do remember the long back lanes at Palm Grove. The smelly monsoon drain that nearly caused girls to faint. My mind complained most of the time but I guess the stamina that was Given really helped me through.
    I wasn't sure whether I could be at the finish line early enough to wait for my friends but I was, and shat was I surprised. Honestly. I used to be VERY lazy during cross-countries and used to have friends say to me "Why you come in so late wan ah?" but THIS time, WOW.
    The proof speaks for itself.
    The Big Guy up there may not have answered to most of my dialogs, but He made sure I had something to remember from my possibly last cross-country run as a student.

    WORLD AIDS DAY

    Today, 1st December is World AIDS Day. Go search on the internet and get more info about AIDS. Let people know that AIDS is a condition, not a disease.
    This is what I compiled from watching the World AIDS Day special on Channel V and from Wikipedia. Read it, it's not THAT boring.
     
     
    MYTH: HIV and AIDS are the same.
    FACT: HIV is the name for the virus, Human Immunodeficiency Virus . AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.
    According to Wikipedia, HIV is a retrovirus that causes AIDS, a condition in which the immune system begins to fail, leading to life-threatening opportunistic infections.
     
    MYTH: We can contract AIDS by touching tainted blood and sitting on infected syringes.
    FACT: NO, we cannot. The virus HIV cannot live outside a hosts' body for long. Its chances of survival outside a human body (for example, blood in a syringe) after two hours is very slim.
     
    MYTH: We can get AIDS by having contact with a HIV-positive person.
    FACT: NO, we CANNOT get HIV/AIDS from touching, kissing, holding hands or hugging a HIV-positive person. So it's okay to do:   to someone who is HIV-positive. Don't stare at others if they do. There are only three ways HIV/AIDS can be contracted.
    One, through unprotected sex.
    Two, through sharing of contaminated needles.
    Three, from an infected mother to her child through birth or breast milk.
    A person can also contract HIV/AIDS through contaminated blood transfusion, but this rarely happens nowadays.
     
    Don't treat HIV-positive people differently than you treat HIV-negative people. Get over that social stigma.
