We SHOULD ACT NOW~!

Nowadays, around 40 million people are living with HIV throughout the world and the number of people increases in every region, everyday. Malaysia itself is not excluded from the exponential rise of HIV/AIDS especially among young adults. In fact, it is estimated roughly 76,000(between year 1986-2006) Malaysians were reported as infected with HIV, of whom some 9200 had developed AIDS (Resource centre. Malaysian AIDS council). In Malaysia, the highest transmission rate of HIV is via sharing of needle for those intravenous drug users.


The stigma and discrimination that accompanies HIV/AIDS often discourage people from testing for HIV or disclosing their status to their partner. This action will not only fuel the spread of HIV/AIDS but increases the risk of our nation being enveloped by the disease itself. Ignorance of HIV/AIDS put lives at risk.

so i ask... Do you care? do we care?

HIV does not care what colour of skin you have, it does not care about your social status, it does not care what ethnic or racial background you come from...

mothers, fathers, children, men and women... ANYONE can be infected by HIV.... ANYONE

so i ask again... do you care?

some of us might know someone who are infected by HIV...
some of us might be infected by HIV...
some of us might not have a clue on what is HIV...

we have to stop judging and start caring... YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE~!

SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN FIGHT FOR A WORLD FREE FROM AIDS.... SPREAD THE MESSAGE NOT THE VIRUS~!
