Picture
Nope... not the right gesture... but still like this pic... and seeing as Im writing the blog... i can do that... 

OK so after the jump is the Youth Projects Video of the SA AIDS Conference 
and some real world numbers which are shocking... 

and a request...  so click the link... 

7.9 .... Holy crap! That cant be right...Yes it is...

So I personally believe one of the reasons why HIV/AIDS isn't a concern for most people is that the numbers are too big. As humans we cant emotionally invest in something we cant imagine, so picture in your head 10 people....now 1000 people... now 100,000...starting to get a bit fuzzy... OK now picture 34 million.... 

whoops... there goes the picture... 

So i always try and compare the statistics with something people can imagine... helps them to understand just how serious an issue the epidemic is. 

So usually I use the following... AIDS Deaths = 34 Million = Every Man , Woman and Child in Canada (give or take) so would we be ok if they all vanished over 30 years?

So my new number is 7.9 

 But first a picture of something horrific 
So now you may be wondering why the picture above.... well imagine EVERYDAY ... yes 365 days a year... that happened... 8 freaking times a day!!! That's how many people died from HIV/AIDS in 2012 ... Ask yourself... if dying was that dangerous would you still do it? Didn't think so... so now why the hell don't you go for an HIV/TEST and use a condom?!?!!? 


So below is the video of a bunch of youth who are ACTIVELY trying to change their world... we chose to be part of Generation Zero... have you?
