The story about the HIV victim (January issue) was very moving and had me thinking about an issue we in the community don't take seriously at all.

I think it is through taking a detailed look at things like this we can all learn so much. I feel on too many occasions issues such as these are quickly swept under the carpet. It is understandable but more can be learnt through discussion than simple ignorance.

As the person in the article mentioned it was something he thought would never happen to him. More information needs to be made available to people so they know the full effects of HIV and AIDS.
