AIDS awareness charities...a good thing and I applaud them. But....going off on a tangent here that some may not like...I think we're all aware of AIDS now (those who aren't have probably been living under a rock for the past 25 years). We don't need awareness anymore. We need a cure...treatment...research. Too many are still dying from AIDS. The years have shown that it's not a "gay disease". It's a disease that affects humans across all walks of life and all preferences, races, etc.
The red ribbons are all fine and dandy, but money is needed for research. It's 2012. We're aware that it exists and is a devastating disease, and we're aware of the precautions to take to prevent it. Unfortunately, no matter how cautious the majority of us are that take steps toward prevention, it still exists. Many cases happen regardless of cautious steps, and far too many are born with this awful disease at no fault of their own. Let's support research now to hopefully find a cure. http://www.amfar.org/
