It never occured to me how high the statistics were for HIV/Aids in the Arab world. My heart goes out to all the innocent people who have contracted it, especially the wives who have unknowingly been recipients of the disease! shame on those men for being so irresponsible! But clear awareness is what is needed to bring the facts out to educate people. It is every human beings right to be understood and respected. Ignorance is not an excuse - use protection! Thanks to producers for this clip.

I support HIV/AIDS.

It's a fact: HIV/AIDS is a curse sent by God to punish the non-monogamous and adulterous, and their children. If anyone has actually read the Bible, they would see that the said curses are written very clearly.

I thank God for HIV/AIDS. I am happy that so many non-monogamous and adulterous people get it (although I do sympathize for people who get it accidently, like through a blood transfusion).
