World AIDS Day 2006: Stop AIDS, Keep the Promise



Ladies (and fellas), especially my sisters (and brothers), it's the wrong day and age to be so irresponsible as to be sleeping with your mate unprotected unless you're married (or in a long term commitment-and by long I mean more than 2 months!) to them. Please don't let the fact that he takes you to the movies and dinner a couple times a month be the reason that you put your life in jeopardy. No one is responsible for your health AND LIFE but you, and there are so many liars out there nowadays that you need to be SAFE! You'll know he really loves you if he's willing to keep it on.




World AIDS Day, December 1st, is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV and AIDS. This year, it's up to you, me and us to stop the spread of HIV and end prejudice. The statistics don't lie...
