On World AIDS Day it's discouraging to see that not only is it a question of money, but also still a question of ignorance.
A fifth of the UK public agreed that: "It is people's own fault if they get HIV/Aids".
Once I read a agony doctor's column in a local magazine (Denmark) and the question was this: 'I am worried that I may get AIDS. Should I worry?'
The answer was: 'If you are not an intra-venous drug-user or a homosexual, no, you shouldn't.'
Would that be one of the reasons why there are now 53,000 people in Britain diagnosed with AIDS, out of which 58% are heterosexual?
These web-sites are worth checking out:
Avert
Marie Stopes
Terrence Higgins Trust
And there's a couple of events if you are free tonight.
