I am tired but I have to blog about what I am getting from this class first. Today at work I talked about this class, and bragged about how much I am learning about HIV/AIDS. This class is very demanding and sometime I cant wait until its over and I passed, that would make me very happy. But over all I really feel that I have learned more in this class than any other class and its really cool, thanks Sharon and Linda, and all my co students for helping me to get into this class. If I had more time it would really be an even awesome experience.
Did You Know?
That they have an HIV home kit. Well they do you can get accurate results in as little as 15 minutes. So the website says. The website is called EasyKit and all the information for you to order is right there I thought that was pretty good, because a lot of people dont like going to the doctor office and sitting and waiting. The cost is not too expensive its between $20 and $80.
Not sure if I talked about this before but its importance is enough to mention again. Young black womens leading cause of death is HIV infection. Women between the age of 25 to 34.
A father of three daughters has prepared his daughters to take with them on a date a credit card, cash for a cab, a cell phone and a condom. Very important that we keep educating each other. Dont be afraid to talk about this epidemic with as many people as you can ecspecially if you are dating, and dont be afraid to get away from anyone who does not want to talk about it or does not practice safe sex.

WOW a take home kit, I think if I didn't know the information that I do now and have taken the test "at home" and it came out to be positive, I wouldn't know what to do, I would probably be completly mortified, scared everything else that goes along with finding out that one is postive. I am thinking, is it really safe to have a take home kit, if one is too scared to go to the doctor to be tested, the chances are they are not going to go after the test tells them they positive. SCARY.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any kids right now, but you can bet my children will know about HIV/AIDS and they will have protection with them.
I did not have a clue that there was a take home kit to test HIV. That is awesome because people who are afraid of getting tested at a doctor's office or a clinic can buy it to use it at home. It is good that the father has prepared his daughters and given them information to be safe.
ReplyDeleteThe take home kit seems like a great idea. This is a great tool for people who are scared they may be positive and are afraid to get tested out in public. With this at home test, people like this can find out for themselves and keep it private, not having the chance of other people finding out.
ReplyDeleteI have learned so much about HIV, I find myself correcting people on the subject!
