Wear A Condom
This is serious.
There is a high aids scare in the country. Survey revealed a significant rise in the prevalence rate of HIV among men and women having unprotected sex. Recent news reported that Gensan’s last count was 21. The country? It now has over 900 cases but in 2007, it was only 280. Scary, right? But hey, I am not a victim.; just building an awareness.
How does one get HIV?
I read in positivism.ph, HIV is primarily found in the blood, semen, breast milk or vaginal fluid of an infected person. HIV is transmitted through these bodily fluids in 3 main ways:
1. Having sex without a condom with someone infected with HIV.
2. Sharing needles and syringes with someone infected with HIV.
3. As a fetus or infant, being exposed to HIV before or during birth or through breastfeeding.
But the virus is not transmitted through day-to-day activities such as shaking hands, hugging, or a casual kiss.
Meanwhile, here’s a video for everybody to think about (and laugh). I know this is worth-sharing. Enjoy. Be safe. Spread the awareness, not the virus!
P.S. According to wikipedia, The majority (70-75%) of carriers in Philippines are male, 25-39, and the predominant mode of transmission is through sexual intercourse. 43% are male-female the remaining fraction is for male-male sex. Yehey! I did not belong to the majority. Be safe always!

but i have to point out something which i got from this blog: http://backinthecloset.blogspot.com/2010/01/tv-patrolled.html.
and i quote mr. blogger, "No need to point out which careers or professions have been trendily diagnosed with HIV. It’s an unfair and useless generalization, because anyone of any profession who takes the risk should get tested. Could it just be that it is people from these professions who are smart enough to get tested? You should worry that such sweeping generalizations will give people a false sense of security to think, “Ah, I’m not a call center agent, so I probably don’t have HIV.” Again, HIV has absolutely no respect for age, gender, sexual orientation, social class, education, or profession. A risk is a risk. Just go get tested."
napansin ko kasi this part of the picture runs in the comments here.
Yeah, spread the awareness, not the virus.
Re: comment on cca. I was kidding when I posted that. We all know (if not all maybe some)that illness is on the individual level and should not be judged on a collective level.
There is no intent offense to call center agents when I posted the comment above.
Thanks.
Your HIV positive friendship---ERIC
Thanks for spreading the awareness too. Apir!
This is cool of you. keep it up. :P
at syempre pinaka mahalag ay be loyal sa partner
:)
I got the video from beans' blog. naaliw din nga ako sa video na yan. but it's serious that we need to protect ourselves from the virus.
Keep safe bro.
Flowell! Long time no hear from you ah. Yeah. Just advocating this cause. Threatening kasi ang number of aids rate in the Country.
Yeah, we should not make iwas of those who have the virus (those who are affected). We should understand and care for them instead.
Spread the awareness! Not the virus!
Yeah! Be loyal to your partner! Be safe always, dens. behave din. haha.
Though mas gusto ng mga babae na walang condom, just be wise enough... You already know the consequences of unprotected sex...
i agree with ofpuffsandshorts. we should not generalize. malay mo naman call center people (which I was once a part of) are the only ones brave enough to get tested.
i like this post. nakakatakot peo it is the reality and i something noone should joke about.
Thanks brew. *apir*

You may probably be very curious to know how one can make real money on investments.
There is no need to invest much at first.
You may begin earning with a sum that usually is spent
for daily food, that's 20-100 dollars.
I have been participating in one company's work for several years,
and I'll be glad to let you know my secrets at my blog.
Please visit blog and send me private message to get the info.
P.S. I make 1000-2000 per daily now.

Yes, I think they should use condom still for protection - that is if there is penetration. Pero like anyone else, abstinence is the safest way to avoid the virus ;)
