Honestly when I first read about this campaign only one moment of advice lingered in my brain despite there being plenty of grate ones I must tell you of a lady that visited my high school that forever changed how I look at life. I was in 9th grade and it was health education month. The speaker was this beautiful captivating women who spoke like poetry, I fear my words wont do justice for hers but I believe her story is strong enough to get across.
AIDS was the topic and love was the trouble.
While in her 20’s and still a virgin this lovely lady decided to go on vacation to Florida to visit a close friend. There she met an amazing guy who amazing to was from Michigan too, he was a gentlemen and talked her into extending her trip 3 months longer , he spoke of marriage and of love and swept her off her feet. So young and in love she gave into temptation and gave her body to him. They talked about a future about kids about growing old together. She had to come back to go to school and he had told her that he had a little more business in Florida and that he will join her back in Michigan shortly . He gave her a box with a black bow and told her to only open it on the plain and so with those last words they kissed and she got on the plane. There she opened the box and inside was a note
“welcome to the world of AIDS”
The guy was eventually caught and had done this to 20 and some women from all over the country.
To me this hit close to home because every women wants that magical ill sweep you off your feet kind of love but sometimes the price is just to high. Like the lovely lady said “ our body is our temple and some things cant be taken off like tattoos or fixed with a good diet so be careful”
ladies with the way the world is now get your pepsmear done once a year if your sexualy active , get tested as often as possible because you may not only contract somoething but pass it as well. you never know how trusting your partner is , respect yourself and your body because in the end you only have 1 life to live...

Wow, I can't believe that people can be that terrible. My girlfriend told me about a girl she overheard about at her school who went to a local club and was dancing. She felt something cold on her leg and went to the bathroom and found a syringe in her leg that said join the AIDS club. She wasn't even supposed to be at the club in the first place. It's really sad, the condition of the world we live in. I'm watchlisting you.

This is just such a sad and awesome message to convey. The first message is to have safe sex. The second message is "if it's too good to be true, it usually is!" The third message is "don't jump into the alligator pit feet first." Or another way to say that one is to always approach with caution. Being in the medical field, we were warned of the dangers of being poked with needles. We were warned of what kind of contamination we were at risk for. It simply was a requirement for us to be regularly tested. I still do. Before I was with my significant other, the questions I asked were, "Who were you with? Are you clean? Are you willing to be tested before we go to the next step?" There are so few men (and even ladies) who are willing to "save themselves for marriage" but the ones who are still virgins are the jewels. My sig other is one such jewel. We've been together for 11 years. I try to give a voice to those who no longer have one be it from cancer, domestic violence or HIV/AIDS (although that last one, not as much any more because of time.)
THanks for sharing this. It's something to seriously think about.

wow, thankyou for passing along that story, how heartbreaking, but also empowering because her story will be able to help so many people, it cannot be stressed enough that if you plan to be sexually active you and your partner should get tested, they should put on the commercials advocating it again because it is so important in the fight against aids and std's. its not embarrassing or disrespectful, its responsible and mature. i also feel sad that the guy was so tainted that he would do that to someone. i love that you emphasize that the body is a temple. thankyou for spreading awareness.
