AHOPE is an amazing place, filled with children that couldn't be any sweeter. Being there changed me too.

It's sad because as you said, it is very treatable (look at Magic Johnson, he was tested HIV+ back in the early 90's and he's still kicking and healthy). Keep up the information. It'll be fun to learn more.<BR/>JeannettAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252293.post-1166583559500050482006-12-19T19:59:00.000-07:002006-12-19T19:59:00.000-07:00Can I borrow your copy of There's No Me without Yo...Can I borrow your copy of There's No Me without You?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252293.post-1166583486484644212006-12-19T19:58:00.000-07:002006-12-19T19:58:00.000-07:00So I tried leaving a post and it showed up in a ye...So I tried leaving a post and it showed up in a yellow box and then disappeared. To repeat what I said, thank you so much for the info and the links posted earlier. It's so easy for me to just remain ignorant and do nothing but hope for good things to happen. But I am tired of that and want to become informed, especially if there's something I could be doing. AIDS research has done a lot for the research of my auto immune illnesses, so it's high time I look into this more. Btw, my post that disappeared was much more eloquent. I'm having trouble thinking clearly right now, trying to get the kids to bed and all. :)<BR/><BR/>kristenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252293.post-1166569239399476232006-12-19T16:00:00.000-07:002006-12-19T16:00:00.000-07:00I have to agree that "There is no me Without You" ...I have to agree that "There is no me Without You" is an excellent way to learn more about HIV. After reading that book, my own perspective and feelings about HIV/AIDS was greatly changed.

We are now moving forward in the process of adopting an HIV+ child and I pray others will too.

I have two children (ages 2 and 11 months) from Ethiopia and so this topic of HIV/AIDS is very much an interest of mine.<BR/>Have you read Steven Lewis's Race Against Time? A brilliant look at Africa, the state of the continent and what the West is (or rather isn't) doing about it.<BR/>Anyway, looking forward to reading your next posts about this subject. Thanks<BR/>LesleyLesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743053537590176154noreply@blogger.com
