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"
http://backinthecloset.blogspot.com/p/basics.html.
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. "

Was surprised to see this entry of yours. Thank you for visiting and featuring my blog. But more thanks for helping bring awareness to the need to be more open and aware of HIV. HIV is everyone's concern. :-) Again, thank you and more power to your blog!
