The “Q” section of the Chicago Tribune, for Sunday, July 20, offered this information about AIDS:
\n*25 MILLION people have been killed worldwide by AIDS over the past 20 years.
\n*80 MILLION people will have died of AIDS by 2010.
\n*In 2002, 1.9 BILLION dollars was spend on AIDS prevention worldwide.
\n*5.7 BILLION dollars will be needed annually for prevention of AIDS by 2006.
\nIn the coming seven years, more than two times as many people will loose their lives to AIDS than in the previous 20 years. These statistics are shocking! Who are we kidding about prevention?
\nGiven that we are talking about a FATAL illness, why have the numbers spiraled in Europe and the USA? The doctors have gotten the word out about abstinance or safe sex, so why do people still risk their lives?
\nI understand about wanting to get laid. I understand about making love. I understand about drug addiction. I don’t understand about risking my life for either. How many people will die before it’s finally brought under control?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
