It's not easy being on the side your on, asking your community to stand up, recognize these issues, and call for a deeper commitment to keeping the promise and putting an end to HIV / AIDS. However it must be done if for no other reason than it is the right thing to do. Thanks for doing it.

The rest of this is up to the people as a whole. They are the ones that can and have to stop this. Unfortunately, we can't hold their hands after we teach them. They have to make that decision(s) on their own. On an interesting note:
