SUMMARY:
Each year there are more people between 13 and 24 that are infected with
HIV and most don’t know it.
A girl called Taylor
was a teenage mother. When she went to see his doctor, she had to ask him to do
the test, and the doctor told her she didn’t need it, it was low risk. A few
years later to have her second child, she finds out that she is HIV positive,
but she had a healthy baby girl. She is responsible for everything, but she
didn’t know what risk of contracting the disease was. Now Taylor is dedicated to raising awareness of
the disease.
Jon Diggs, a prevention specialist and counselor for the Evolution
Project. Diggs works primarily with black men gay, bisexual and transgender
community who are affected by HIV and AIDS. These men are hard to talk to their
doctor about HIV testing.
Jon Diggs says that it’s important to create a good environment at home
to talk about sex. Besides, HIV drugs are very expensive and to pay it you have
to be accepted by the health insurance.
Now that Taylor
has gone through what you have HIV is to educate their children informing them
of this disease, although at first it seemed hard.
OPINION:
It is true that in families or with parents is difficult to talk about
sex. I think it is difficult for parents to assimilate that their children are
becoming adults.
Sometimes parents, with their believings want their children to do the
same as them. Nowadays in society, everyone chooses the path they want to
follow, and the children often don’t do the same as parents did.
So do talks in schools on these issues. Besides this will explain
everything about sex issues or diseases, to prevent in the future.
