Avatar f tn Report, March 10 due to the U.S. National Women and Girls AIDS Awareness Day was announced. expression of the disease is seen in the many African-Americans. According to the figures of 2010, 12.6 percent of the population, African Americans' Although representing across the country, accounted for half of one million HIV carriers. this rate is rising, especially among women. In the report, the number of AIDS-caught African American women is said to be 20 times more than other women.
Avatar n tn Hello, I was contemplating the percentage chance i contracted the HIV virus and was wondering that if the chance of someone having the virus is combined with the chance of transmission is so low, why does the general media/public make it seem like aids is everywhere. I guess the source of my stress is that feeling that AIDS is everywhere and easily contracted..I would appreciate any insight.
Avatar m tn t want my last awareness to be one of pain. I want my last awareness to be of my sweetling on one hand and my wife on the other, and making them understand that it's not a bad thing that's happening. But so far no luck. Maybe that traxedone stuff, if it doesn't do the congestion thing. Wanna know something funny? I'll bet tomorrow I'll actually want to wake up, just to come in here and see what you good folks have to say.
Avatar m tn The client he was cutting hair for is a nurse and teaches Hep-C awareness and prevention. She wanted one and asked for more if I could spare any. I gave her a handful with a few cards.

Avatar f tn Hi Does anyone have a positiv ething to say about sleep aids and if so which ones are working for you?
163305 tn?1333668571 They did a segment about AIDs. It hit me, once again, how everyone knows about AIDs and so few know about hep C. I had this idea, that if a bunch of us contacted them pitching our stories, that maybe they'd do a show with various segments on Hep C. If this interests you at all, check out the web site: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/about/submissions I already sent in my story.
Avatar f tn Also i appreciate your spirit in helping a lot of worried wells here in this forum and passing on the general awareness about the disease.Does anyone know about the AIDs epidemic in India?How are the government authorities taking this disease up here?Also would like to understand that what does it take to open an NGO to help support AIDs patient in India?Also how informed are members in this forum about the epidemic in Developing countries?
Avatar m tn It just never ends. You really can't blame the people for these questions, it is the government's lack of education. If they spent only a fraction of what is spent on HIV/AIDS awareness then people would know how HCV is acquired.
Avatar n tn Your committment to create AIDS awareness is an excellent idea --- I think I'll join you in that effort Congrats on results - our prayers to everyone battling HIV/AIDS - may God bless you all!
Avatar n tn What are the odds for regaining urinary control after a radical hysterectomy? Will the nerves grow back? My friend has absolutely no awareness. We're attempting bladder retraining at this time with routine toileting, but so far, it's not helping. Is there treatment for this condition?
Avatar n tn As a result of these disorders the external sounds are masked leading to awareness of normal body sounds. Treatment lies in treating the underlying cause. Sometimes "white noise" may help suppress the sound so that it's less bothersome using an electronic device. They are white noise machines, hearing aids, masking devices and tinnitus retraining with a training device. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance.
163305 tn?1333668571 In an effort to increase awareness about hepatitis C, I am asking all of you to contact the Daily Show and/or the Colbert Report requesting they interview Margaret Dudley. Instead of complaining about bad hep C jokes, let's take action. These shows reach a large audience. Barrage them with tweets, post on their facebook page, get the word out that it's time people learned about this silent epidemic. Tell your kids, friends and relatives to do the same.
Avatar f tn As many as three-fourths of Americans living with the disease are unaware of their status and are not receiving care and treatment for their condition. Raising awareness about hepatitis is crucial to effectively fight stigmas, stem the tide of new infections, and ensure treatment reaches those who need it. On World Hepatitis Day, we join with people across our country and around the globe in promoting strategies that will help save lives and prevent the spread of viral hepatitis.
Avatar n tn That you could read his profile, learn the man is living with AIDS, teaches HIV/AIDS awareness classes and was a paramedic for many, many years, and then ask him which website he got his information from...........!!!!! Sorry jack, but your insensitivity is nearly as mind boggling as your ignorance.
Avatar m tn I knew more about hi / aids than most of these folks when i was 14! Serious. Very disappointing, the need to do better work to educate teens & adults. Why are there no television spots -or- specials on television -or- something. That's why the brackets keep going up man-ignorance is the culprit man...
1494170 tn?1361750860 Like I have posted before, until the government spends money educating people it will never change. If they spent just a fraction of what they spend on AIDS awareness it would make a big difference.
Avatar m tn I had an event at my school for AIDS awareness day yesterday and I thought it would be a good deed to society to get tested. I go to school in the Bronx in NY, and I went to one of the department of health's to get tested. It was not exactly the cleanest place in there and it was FILLED with people getting tested. This sounds really ironic but, my test came up negative but should i go get tested again in the next coming months from risk of getting HIV from the health department place?
Avatar m tn If we think back to the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, no one would say the word AIDS either. In the beginning, the government was very slow to act. But the AIDS epidemic had a voice, a very loud voice.
Avatar n tn My results are in, and I am happy to relay (to whom ever is still reading these posts) that I am free of HIV. I have also decided to become a volunteer at my local AIDS awareness program! I have already attended several lectures, and I am getting more and more passionate about shouting from the roof tops about what we can do as people to rid this world of this disease. Thank you again for all of your kind words and facts!!
