It's #WorldAIDSDay -spend some time learning and thinking about #HIV and all those living with it. Do your bit to help end shame and stigma.

Sexual Intercourse is not the only way to get infected with HIV.
Stop sharing blades.
Stop reusing used needles at the salon.

The bad thing about HIV is you can be negative and your boyfriend/husband can be positive.

Get tested. Early detection saves lives.

And please before being transfused with blood or blood products, ensure it has been tested.

An educated man said, "I haven't gone for HIV test but my wife has done the test"
She is negative therefore I am negative
