The semester is about over and there is still much to do, however this is now the last time you will be hearing from me, as a required assignment anyways. Who knows I may continue with the blog, it will be a while before we make HIV a thing of the past.We must have faith, that one day with the combined efforts of many that we can make a difference in the world of HIV, a difference that would make the total number of infected individuals decrease over time rather than increase. This course has shown me now that it is our generation that is going to be the driving force behind that goal. The future is in our hands now, what are we going to do about it?
The one topic that I would like to talk about this week that has made the biggest effect on me since I started the course has been the Men's Panel. What an amazing group of guys, what they did for us really takes a large amount of courage. I was so intrigued by every one of their words that I couldn't help but feel like they were talking only to me. The stories they shared with us really gave me a small sample of the day to day life of being HIV positive. The craziest part is that I would have never been able to pick them out as being HIV positive, shoot I was standing next to a couple of them in the hall before class having a normal conversation.
The experiences they shared with us made me feel a great deal of sorrow and remorse for their past problems and the continuous ever changing complication that they have to deal with everyday. I was very surprised to hear one of them say that getting HIV was the best thing that had ever happened to him, he soon clarified that HIV got him off of a path that was much worse than that of HIV.
The panel really touched me, and this experience is something that I'll be able to refer back to when making decisions. This course has changed my mentality and has given me a deep look into a very real problem that needs to be solved.
Did You Know...
This week on did you know, I realized that since we started this course at the beginning of the semester until now, over 230,000 people have since been infected with AIDS. That statistic is unbelievable. When I logged onto the world clock I was very surprised to see how much the number has grown. This evidence should be compelling enough to urge people to get something done to stop the spread of HIV. (AIDS)

Hey Austin,
ReplyDeleteI want to tell you that your post is so amazing; I just love how you choose your words to make sure they affect the reader. I want to also say that I enjoyed all your posts that I have read through out the semester :)
I really hope that we all can take responsibility and try our best to prevent the spread of this disease and to warn others of it.
This is the last we get to talk so I wish you luck in your future studies :)
Great post!
ReplyDeleteI am with you it does take a lot of courage to get up in front of people and discuss your current health status. I am not sure if I would be brave enough to do something like that. I had the pleasure of attending both men and womens panel, and it made a world of difference for me in understanding HIV/AIDS. Good luck in your future studies.
In our hands now, is a very appropriate title for this blog. This experience has been beyond measure the best thus far at UCF. I still live in the panhandle and this is a great opportunity for me to be involved in a great class. I have thoroughly enjoyed this class and look forward to many more just like it in the future. I'm glad to know that your experience was very similar to mine.
