HIV/AIDS

A lot going on!
Had a workshop on HIV/AIDS by SCB yesterday. Pretty awesome actually!
Interesting perspectives. It was amazing to see the way people open up and ask things that they would usually be too conscious to even think about!
For example, I've always wondered how sharing of injection needles would cause HIV to spread. I mean, the virus dies if left in the air for more than 10 seconds right? But yesterday explained all that and much more. It was a time when we all felt comfortable about talking about it. And realized that there is a lot more that we should know! The best was that not for a single moment was it a session that was boring or lecture-ish! I mean, to establish a connect to the people you're talking to and to make them comfortable and yet serious enough to want to attend that workshop is something that I really dream of doing someday! I mean, it's a part of the process of always wanting and working towards being better! :)
It was amazing how people actually started thinking about HIV and really wanted to make a difference.
Motivating? Yes! It was a session not only for knowledge, but also to build the fire inside that wants to go ahead and make a difference! It was a session where you would know that there are certain things that you should do. .
And yes, I am planning to go for an HIV test soon! I want to know what it's like. .. sitting there and waiting! Wondering. . . and to think of all the people living with HIV.
