HIV AND AIDS IS NOT THE END OF LIFE

   HIV and AIDS has become an epidemic because of lack of teaching about Aids.Many people fear being tested for HIV/AIDS because they fear people will hate them.Many people think that sex is the cause of HIV/AIDS and therefore they neglect people living with HIV/AIDS saying that they engaged in sex without knowing there are other ways in which one can get HIV/AIDS.
   In our estate karanja there were people who were adviced to go to HIV test.They went and some of them were found with HIV/AIDS.Karanja self help group started offering ARV drugs to the people and even taught people about HIV/AIDS.Since then people have lived with people of HIV/AIDS like neighbours.
   Since then people living with HIV/AIDS who were afraid to show themselves have come out and this really has reduced HIV/AIDS.Even the introduction of condoms have really helped.
