I always take a few moments on Worlds AIDS DAY to remember all those who lost their lives with having AIDS. 30 years ago when we had not treatment or when treatment just becoming available we lost 100s or even 1,000 of people all around the world because of HIV and AIDS. Even still today we are still losing people but the numbers are very small now of those losing their life to problems with HIV or AIDS. So it is good to have a day when we can just take a moment and remember to think of those who we have lost and pray for those still living while we wait for a vaccine. I sometimes help out at sites with people coming in to be tested, but because of covid, are area is not doing a big event like in years past. This year people had to call for an appointment so that they could have just one person at a time in the office to get tested so not as many will get tested this year.

It means honoring those that came before me who lost their lives. And the lessons that we learnt from them. I used to think of this as a curse but I have found so many blessings along this journey it helped me to be the person I am today and I love that person
