Plain Ignorance


I received this message from someone here in LIFEOUT.

"I symphatize with u naman, how long ka nang may AIDS? Sana mamatay ka agad para di ka na magdamay pa. (I symphatize with you, how long have you been living with AIDS? I hope you'll die sooner so that you won't infect others)"

First and foremost, as mentioned profile, I am an HIV/AIDS advocate and not an HIV Carrier.  I'm sure this guy misunderstood what I wrote in my profile. Or perhaps wasn't able to understand what I wrote and mainly replied to the word "HIV". I always get tested and my last result was negative.

Second, if ever he is talking to someone living with HIV, this guy doesn't have the authority to ask someone to die so that he won't infect other people. To be honest, I know a lot of PLHIV and they I respect them a lot because they are responsible enough.

Well, this mesage came from someone who organizes orgies and is he even sure he is safe? Better get tested, you know who you are.

People really needs to be educated and informed about what HIV/AIDS. Ignorance is deadly.
