World AIDS Day

Happy world AIDS day today.

AIDS is a growing disease and the are so far 90,000 people in the UK suffer with it.
Its important that we spread the word inorder to raise awareness and help to stop the spread.
As a soon to be nurse, it is improtant that I understand the problems we encounter with such viruses and know how to deal with it when I come across individuals with the virus.

Having AIDS must be hard to deal and imagine how hard it must be for children who have it but thanks to advanced medicine, people with HIV/AIDS have normal and longer life expectancies however the side effects are tremedous and the stigma behind it remins an issue.
Please pledge, make a donation and spread the word.
