BBC six'o'clock news,
July 19 2006

The newsreader said that this case should send a strong message to people with hiv, that we must be very careful. but NOWHERE was there mention that people who don't have hiv - or don't know their status - must be careful and use condoms if they are not 100% sure of their status or their partner's status.
And they wonder why this pandemic just keeps growing and growing and growing. The person who make the decision to not use condoms and ends up hiv positive is portrayed as a poor hapless victim with no responsibility. It makes me so angry I could weep.
Not once did they urge people to use condoms. Nope. They only urged people who know that they are positive to disclose so the poor vulnerable neggies could decide whether they wanted to engage in sex. The attitude behind all this makes me sick. It really does. A perfect opportunity to remind people to use condoms - lost again. In fact, the whole thing gives the impression not that condoms could prevent cases like this, no, it gives the impression that hiv positive people should not even be touched and certainly should not have relationships.
stigmatisation and dicrimidation to people living with HIV/AIDS is very high maily those who chosse to live openly wityh the VIRUS. As a result of this, it makes a lot of people to go under ground and also it some of them not to know there sero status to avoid humilation under going by the people living with HIV in their Communities.
Let us fight the Virus and not Person Living With the Virus.
