FACTS/TRUTH about Contracting HIV
Need To Know
HIV/AIDS The 40+yr Pandemic
I lost my Mom To AIDS in 1993.
She had unprotected Sex! She had her tubes tied & didn't think she needed to use protection!
After Mom died & I was done facilitating her Will, I was So Angry All the time! I was Angry with her for contracting HIV, since it was preventable! She didn't heed my warnings when she was dating again, after her Divorce!
Then My anger was put towards Everyone's False information about HIV/AIDS!
So I took a 6 week class from the RED CROSS to get certified to TEACH HIV / AIDS Education!
I taught a weekly HIV Certification Class at the RED CROSS for anyone who were required to get their yearly Certification for their jobs!
Ex: Tattoo artists, Doctors, Nurses, Nail Technicians...anybody who wanted to take the classes for their education.
I also went out to schools & other venues to educate on behalf of the RED CROSS!
Taught the class for years until I was 4 months Pregnant in 1998.
So my Mission is to
EDUCATE & ERADICATE
40+ year HIV / AIDS PANDEMIC
EACH INDIVDUAL WILL HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR BODIES THROUGH KNOWLEDGE!
GETTING TESTED
&
"KNOW YOUR STATUS"
- Photo of Mom & Me, 2 months before she was put in hospice! Also her DL Picture.
She had Wasting Syndrome & a Brain Disease (Toxoplasmosis, Parasite Brain) that caused her brain to deteriorate, paralyzing her speech & body!
One of the many diseases & Opportunistic-Infections AIDS manifests!
She Could only move her Eyes to acknowledge that she understood what we were saying. They showed so much Fear, especially when we had a Priest come in to pray & give her "Last RIGHTS"!
She was not able to eat / swallow food! Her body rejected any nutrients!
They put her on IV for meds & fluids to keep her comfortable until she passed 2 weeks after she was in Hospice!
She was only 46yo. & She died a year after being diagnosed!
She found out too late!

FACTS/TRUTH about Contracting HIV
Need To Know
Be aware of your past exposures to HIV INFECTION in the past 8 - 11 years! You need to get tested Correctly*!
CDC recommends ages 13 - 64 to get tested once! (Retest 6 weeks later to make sure it was NOT A FALSE POSITIVE RESULT!)
I would Raise the age to 80+
I recommend You get tested yearly to "STOP YOUR CHAIN OF INFECTION"!
Anyone who has been diagnosed with any Rare diseases/Infections should be tested For HIV immediately!
HIV attacks / KILLS your White Blood Cells ie: your Immune System!
Compromises / enhances all chances for any Cancer Cell to MULTIPLY.
It will make Any Dangerous cell to Multiply itself to shut down your body!
So If you don't Test for HIV, then you won't stop HIV from MULTIPYING other dangerous Cells already in your body from developing into that
RARE Infection or Disease!
You will ONLY Ever be treating the Symptoms & Not The Cause!
If you have any STD's, you need to be Tested for HIV!
*You Contracted the STD through Unprotected SEX!
**NOTE**
IN ORDER TO GET INFECTED,
THERE HAS TO BE
A POINT OF ENTRY for
INFECTED Blood or Semen!
- "Paper" cut anywhere
- cold sores
- burns
- split cuticles
- skinned knee
are just some examples!
******
SEX, including Anal & Oral, can make Microscopic tears as
POINTS Of ENTRY!
DO NOT HAVE INTERCORSE WHILE A WOMEN IS MENSTRATING!
IT WILL ENHANCE THE CHANCES OF HIV TRANSMISSION,
but
THAT DEPENDS ON WHO IS
HIV+
*Wait for 6 weeks after 1st Negative result to TEST again to verify it's Not a False Negative result!
