What do we really know about the HIV virus?

Do you know it affects the innocent? Do you know babies get HIV from their infected mothers? Do you know one of the greatest causes of HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa is rape? Do you know that Russia, Ukraine and India have the highest rates of new infections in the world? Did you know that 46% of the population in Swaziland, Africa has HIV/AIDS?

Do you know that simple actions you and I can do will save lives? Do you know Nevaprine, given to a mother and infant will help prevent that baby from having HIV? Did you know it costs less than a dollar? Did you know that with proper nutrition 75% of HIV infected infants at Shepherd’s Keep in South Africa are Zero-Negative? Did you know there is something you can do to save the lives of these precious people?

Get educated. Get involved. Get in touch with your compassion. You can make a difference!
