I have been seeing posts about Charlie Sheen and Eazy in regards to HIV/aids.And they are all pretty ignorant. All of them. The ones making a joke out of it and the ones comparing the situations as well.
HIV and Aids are not the same fucking thing. I have been taking public health for a semester now. Public health is about the controlling, distribution, and pattern of diseases. And HIV today is not the same thing as HIV in the 90s.
In my class HIV and its statistics and all that comes up constantly. And every single time I think about Eazy and the weird situation with his death. And All I want to do is bring it up in class and have a discussion about it but I know I can’t.
So I will be going to my professor’s office hours to actually talk to her about it and to also get the contact information of consultants who have visited our class and said they could “talk about HIV all day”. To get some more stats and prevalence (if possible) for some kind of understanding (I know I will never get to the bottom of the situation).
