HIV people!!

Recently I've been seeing a lot of ads and articles about HIV and other STDs. All of then raising the awareness of how serious this problem really is. In an article I read on yahoo news, it reveals that fewer than 1/2 of the Americans have tested for HIV. The study shows that if people were to find out earlier it's easier for the medicine given to take effect. It also protects your partner from getting it.

There was this advertisement I saw the other day on the TV. It's about a bunch of people in a club and a girl asking a good looking guy if he tested for HIV and the guy jumped away and yelled at her asking her if she's crazy for asking something like that and the guy she was dancing with leaves. However, a less attractive man overheard the conversation and went up to her to tell her he tested for HIV and then they hooked up. So the story ends there...I just thought it was pretty funny. What was even moreeeeee funny was that this commercial was the idea of the head of the health department in taiwan. He planned on going to a club to promote this advertisement. He is currently 65 years old and he was going to go to the club at 7pm....which is quite weird cause the club isn't open at 7pm...hahahahahahhaha

Anyways I just thought that was funny of him. But I thought the commercial was pretty cool. Try to see if you can find it on TV it should be on the news channel. However, just because im joking and laughing about the commercial doesn't mean I don't take this very seriously. I've heard of people who got AIDs from going to the theater and sitting on a chair where a HIV patient planted a needle with her HIV positive blood on it. EVIL!!!! anyways. Just be aware kids. Protection.
