AIDS - Abandoning Inhuman Disassociating Society

Welcome to the Abandon-All Land.



No! , Its really not that I have gone crazy or am completely alien to the meaning of HIV/AIDS.

On the contrary I am a peer educator for the same topic . Its high time that we should learn and understand the new meaning of this virus and disease .

The news of a nine year old boy being thrown out of his school after humiliating him in front of the school because he was HIV infected is rather just another news for most of you , but being an educator for this topic, it made shed a tear for the little lad.
The attendance after the news of the boy studying in the school dropped from 225 to 15 .

What can be the reason for this , is it worry ?
Is it concern for the students?
Is it a matter of concern for the school board ?
Is it an epidemic?
The answer is NO.

Its lack of knowledge and the fact that nobody wants to know about this life threatening virus
Its a matter of shame that you have HIV as if its not a medical ailment but a character certificate.
The general idea- "UNSAFE SEX!"

I really fail to understand that how did this 9 year old end with it then ?

Wake up INDIA before its too late .
In a survey this what people had to say :

A teenager from the slum said " Madam ye sab to bade logo ke chonchle hain". "This is just to do with the rich crowd".

A middle class government servant said "Ye ya toh baht ameer logo ke shaunk hain ya phirgareeb logo ki bevkoofi". "It is either the Rich who have habits of such sort or the uneducated poor ones".

A businessman who drives a BMW said- "Humaare bache padhe likhe hain, unhe bataane kizaroorat nahin hai" "Our kids are well educated, we don't need to emphasize on it for them"

If it was really this way, NOBODY would have been infected with this virus till date but the irony is that almost 7.7 million people have left with only one question in their family's heart- How?
Trust me, if this mindset shall remain like this, we are probably inviting a very high death rate for our country .
Nobody is born with sex education from a mother's womb but this generation should be keen to know what kind of death ride pleasure brings along .
And not just this .

First thing's first ,
HIV - Human Immunodeficiency Virus AIDS - Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

HIV can be transferred not just because of unsafe sex/ multiple partners but there are a lot of other possibilities .
  • -Infected syringes.
  • -Transfer of blood that is infected.
  • -From an infected mother's womb to her child (Medical science has got a way to cure this if proper medication is taken by the conceiving mother on time".

Some proved facts about HIV/AIDS:
The following things are certainly NOT ways of transfer of this virus.-:

  • -By touching.
  • -By sharing food (It is not preferred as if the infected person has a cut in his/her mouth, a blood transfusion may occur. Though chances are negligible as the infected blood when comes in contact with the atmosphere, the virus dies.)
  • -By kissing.(Again it is not preferred for the same reason)
  • -By sitting together .
  • -Even the saliva of the infected person carries no virus.

Semen and blood are the ONLY carriers of the HIV virus .
Do notice the word "ONLY"!!

Now, what threat did this little boy have to his classmates in this scenario.
The answer is NONE, but the answer can only be know if there is an urge to know it or else the presumptions and the misconception start making their point even more than the facts or rather Proved facts.

Today, test yourself, go to a medical store and try asking for a condom,
  • 50% of you would ignore after reading this as its too liberal .
  • 10% would laugh.
  • 10% would think about it.
  • 10% would try but fail!
  • 10% would be too ashamed after doing it.
  • 5% would go, ask and laugh over this so called "dare game".
  • ONLY 5% would be confident yet taken a back by the reactions of other customers.

But mind you my friends, its rather better to face the world today with confidence and be different from this society or it would be too late and the same society would be talking behind your back, building your character certificates and abandoning you like the little boy who doesn't even know what he's going through just did .
And then another tear would scroll down my cheek reading the "little" article on page 14 about how yet another child or adult was abandoned from the society as he could not match with the norms .

Remember, your story would be summed up in 4 lines because Sharukh Khan's routine security check-up (detention for the SUPERSTAR) is the hot news and the first page cover for the next week now.
Thinking that you are safe, is like destroying your safguard on your own .

Prevention is the only cure.

Just because we are girls?

They are being killed, They are being killed even before they are born and if not so they are brought across a situation which is worst than death,numerous names-molestation,rapes,innocent murders,list is just endless.
Why? Just because THEY are girls?

Dont believe me? Just open any newspaper and you will find a justification to my post.
Which newspaper?- ANY!
What date?-ANY!
But ya try and look for it properly. You see a girl's dignity is less important than which team is leading in IPL or if 'bebo' has size zero or not or probably whats the next no. of packs Mr.Shahrukh Khan is interested in.
JUST because they are girls!

We are not a subejct,we are not dolls,we are NOT for the public.
Why do we have to think before getting out of our homes,why do we have to watch out for the way we dress,why is prostitution just for girls,why do we have girl stripping pubs(mostly).Why do we have to be scared when working latenight.
Just because we live in an era where some desperate nimphos are roaming around? For all those - Go help yourselves if the urge is unstoppable!

Ever blamed a girl and JUST the girl saying " look what her parents taught her,the boy must have got carried away" when you found her with her boyfriend in their intimate time? That's us.
I am not saying that we dont have girls who too think like this but WHY?
Why is it always us?
Just because we are girls.
Just seeing Priyanka Chopra in "why should boys have all the fun?" wont change our position in society.
Trust me guys, its not just with lower class men BUT with all of you! You see hot chicks and you are in your imagination world. The ones who disagree,leave the habbit of lying to yourself atleast.
We are born and are brought up the same way as guys out there are, if we are our daddy's princesses that does not mean we are everybody's fantasy art.
We are not dumb but yes, with everything going around us if you want us to stay numb that's clearly impossible.
Yes, it is the 21st century and women has grown in society but just because she has, does not give you a right to assault the one's who havent.
Why are the most rape cases reported to be with girls living in slum, just because she cant raise her voice against the 'rich' and 'cool' boys?
Just because we are girls?

Even when case of drunk girls come up , we say "it was the girl's fault" I say - WHY ??
Even if she was , who gave the right to those stud boys to assault her.
Does that mean that that bunch couldnt control their urge ?
And if it really is so , as I said Go help yourselves!
Nobody thinks before saying " she shouldnt have been drunk"!
My question is if she wasnt supposed to then why were the guys ?
Just because we are girls?

The Mangalore incident is not hidden from anybody. They were beaten up ending up with tattered clothes or even no clothes just to restrict them to the parameters that our culture has set .. Did anybody try and tell them that they are talking about the same culture which refers to females as purity and Godesses.
I have never heard of purity being assaulted like that .
Did they forget that if the culture sees women as a mother who should'nt be sitting at a bar is the same culture which depicts a man as a father. A child, when born looks at both ,a mother and a father for their future thats where the word 'parents' came from but just blaming everything on the mother has always been the key solution .. so what do we do? We continue with the tradition .. then just grant me this wish by beautiful people. Dont boost about the 'We can change India" notion .
BECAUSE WE CANT!
Like this ? I am sorry .. we are nothing but a shamefull bunch that has not done anything ever!
You guys out there. Trust me if you cant respect a girl,female,women , Life will never respect you no matter how much you try to .
But what is the whole agenda about?
Even if this all stops . one thing wont. Male domination!
Be it anything, marriage,hook-up,one night stand,relationship,commitment. The key point is Male domination!
IT JUST CANT CHANGE...




or can it?
Can we TRY to change it, can we try and look at women like we look ourselves(guys).
Promise one thing to yourself, next time you witness any assault, try and stop it.
Next time you come accross any article of something alike, react to it! Not by turning the page but by writing. Writing to the newspaper or to this post. We can change a Girl's position in society and we already have but not for all .
Lets make India as secure for girls as it is for guys and not give any girl a chance to accuse her nation by saying
Just because I am girl?


Guys, lets Rock It!
