World Aids Day

Today is World Aids Day.  This is something that has become close to our hearts as we adopt a child from a country that has been ravaged by this disease.  Many people's knowledge on the disease is stuck in the 1980's.  The truth is, we have come so far since then.  Medicine has advanced in so many ways that those with a diagnosis of HIV+ can be on medication and the virus can become undetectable in their blood- how amazing is that?  HIV is considered to be more manageable than Diabetes.  Please take a minute to watch the videos below and educate yourself.  The second one is a little long, but so worth watching. Education is so key in fighting this disease.  And please pray for the orphans all over the world who are living with this disease in countries with no access to the medical care we have here in the US.  If you would like more information check out Project Hopeful for some awesome resources.
