Curiosity and Enlightenment: HIV & AIDS

I've been curious about HIV and AIDS over these years. I've been reading a lot of articles about it but most of them are super technical and are using science terms which are ... hard to understand.

As I browse the internet and visit some gay blog sites today, I was able to visit a very inspiring blog that really enlightened me!
As a new blogger, I have to broaden my knowledge and should get used to reading long and intellectual articles (which I am not used to yet...but i think, will be enjoying it pretty soon :D).

This site that I visited was about HIV and AIDS or should i say someone having HIV/AIDS in the Philippine setup. I got interested and noticed myself browsing its page but just reading a few and getting the main thought.
 What was I doing? I am already in front of a very beautiful blog and yet I aint doing what I have to do (to read and know why and for what is was created).Then  I told myself to read even just an article... I dunno where to start actually, then I saw the post "The HIV 101"

Maybe I could start here!

As I read it, I was able to fully understand what HIV and AIDS are.  In short, i was educated by this article.
Ive learned that: (as stated on the post)
"Again, technically, no one dies of HIV or AIDS. Having HIV or AIDS only exposes the body to Opportunistic Infections, which are what ultimately cause death."

I enjoyed reading this post for he used lay terms which everyone could easily understand.
I would definitely read more of his blog on the days to come and for those who are also curious about HIV and AIDS, I recommend this blog site:

you would really learn a lot from this.

As William Wirt once said:
"Seize the moment of excited curiosity on any subject to solve your doubts; for if you let it pass, the desire may never return, and you may remain in ignorance. "
