Confession of an HIV Possitive
I wold like to take this opportunity to share my World AIDS Day post (Confessions of an HIV Positive: www.angsawariko.com/2009/12/confessions-of-hiv-positive.html ) we all know that AIDS along with malaria and other diseases is one of the important issues in the world as stated in UN Millennium Development Goals where AIDS and other diseases lands on number 6 (Combat AIDS, Malaria and other diseases). My post is about the present scenario of AIDS/HIV in world where UNAIDS reported that as of 2007 it is roughly 33 -33.4 Million in the worlds population is HIV positive and still living, but those digits are cases that are only reported and undergo HIV test. Here in the Philippines we have rough estimation of 3,911 living and reported cases of HIV as of May 2009 by National Epidemiology Center. Unsafe sex is recorded as 89% and discussed as the major contributor of transmission in the National Epidemiology Center data and since 2007, 72 % of new cases were males who got infected from having sex with other females here in the Philippines. The peek age bracket for males is 25-29 years old as first from the chart followed by 30-34 years old and 20-24 years old is ranked as third.
I had opportunity to have an HIV positive friend to discuss his situation and what he is doing right now, as reported by UNAIDS that the infection cases reduces to 17%, it may be a good news but it doesn't mean we should be lax instead let's continue our battle against AIDS and other diseases and support UN MDG for 2015.
I'll support
I may not be a father right now or having a family but count me in on this campaign I'll blog and unite all the mothers, fathers and families fighting for preemies

It's about time that we should make noise and bring that noise to the offices of our leaders who is going to the United Nations MDG Summit in New York, let us remind them of their promise that what they should be achieving on or before 2015. We don't need excuses its about time that they start doing their job, and as for us citizen of our respective countries and the world lets start monitoring our leaders and government agencies in their implementations of their projects to fulfill the MDGs. Let's all do out part in making poverty a history.
