Problem: Article: To make a paste, simply add between 2 and 4 spoonfuls of baking soda to a few tablespoons of warm water. Stir the mixture until a thick paste forms. If the paste does not thicken, add another spoonful of baking soda until you get your desired consistency. For lighter stains a paste may not be necessary. Adding 2 spoonfuls of baking soda to a small cup of warm water and applying with a clean rag, will do the trick. Apply the baking soda paste directly to the stained area. You can use a clean rag or simply your finger for application. Make sure the stain is fully covered by the paste to get the best results. The baking soda paste needs time to treat the stain and get all of the unwanted color out of the area. Leave the paste to treat the stain for at least an hour. Letting the baking soda solution sit longer will not cause any damage to the fabric of your shoes and will ensure the removal of the entire stain. Once you have let the baking soda do its job, it is time to remove it. Take the corner of a clean cloth and wipe the paste away. If the paste does not remove easily add a few drops of warm water to the cloth and wipe the area again.
Summary: Make a baking soda paste. Apply a good heap of paste to the stain. Give the baking soda time to work. Wipe off the paste with a clean rag or towel.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are several different circumstances that can place you at risk of contracting HIV. If you've experienced one of the following situations, you are at risk: You've had unprotected anal, vaginal, or oral sex. You've shared needles or syringes. You've been diagnosed or treated for a sexually transmitted disease (STD), tuberculosis, or hepatitis. You received a blood transfusion between 1978 and 1985, the years before safety precautions were in place to prevent tainted blood from being used in transfusions. This is the most accurate measure in determining if you have HIV. Contact a local health clinic, the Red Cross, your doctor's office, or another local resource to find out where to get tested. Go to the website aids.gov for a listing of testing locations. Testing is easy, affordable, and reliable (in the majority of cases). The most common test is done through drawing a blood sample. There are also tests that use oral fluids (collected with a swab) or urine. There are even tests you can take at home. If you do not have a regular physician who can provide testing, contact your local Health Department. If you are tested for HIV, do not let fear prevent you from obtaining your test results. Knowing whether or not you are infected will give you the best chance to treat your condition, or to change your lifestyle to prevent an infection. Many health organizations recommend getting tested as part of your routine physical, even if you don't think you are at risk. Catching and treating HIV early can help prevent later complications. Many people with HIV don't know they have it. The virus can be carried in your body for over ten years before symptoms begin to occur. If you have reason to think you may have contracted HIV, don't let a lack of symptoms stop you from getting tested. It's best to know as soon as possible.

SUMMARY: Know if you are at risk. Get tested for HIV. Don't wait for symptoms to occur to get tested.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: While your popcorn garland might seem like the finishing touch to your Christmas tree, it's actually easier to hang it when there aren't ornaments in the way. You should add your lights before the garland, though. The best way to hang popcorn strings on your tree is to softly drape them over the branches rather than firmly stuffing them in gaps. Start at the top and carefully work your way down. For a formal look, make sure to drape your popcorn strings in even, uniform loops. For a more casual look, allow the popcorn strings to drape unevenly. If you want your popcorn garland to stand out on your tree, consider doubling up the strings and draping them together over the branches. Once the popcorn strings are in place, you can hang your ornaments on the tree. However, you should take care when placing them among the garlands because you don't want any large, heavy ornaments to rest on the popcorn and possibly break it.
Summary:
Add the garland after the tree's lights. Place the garland on the tree. Add ornaments.
