I still can't believe it happend in my family. How could this happen? Why did it happen? My uncle passed away 3 years ago from hiv and aids. A few weeks ago before his death he had become very sick and he just told me it was a little cold everytime i talked to him on the phone in India. He lived in India with his family. The night befor his death i talked to him. He was soo happy telling me all these jokes as usual and making me laugh. After hanging up the phone.. i sat in my aunts bedroom as she broke the news to me about him having aids. At that moment i knew he wasn't going to live it was to late. nothing could be done. I was very angry no one had told me he was infected with aids. The next morning we recieve a phone call from India telling us that he had passed away. All i could do was just sit, cry and scream. I was mad.. why didin't no one tell me..why aren't people more educated in these countries where everything is hidden because it is a shameful thing . i wanted answers and i got none. From that day forward i told myself i was going to educate myself and people around me on this epidemic. As a result of him have aids.. his wife is also infected with it. All this due to the lack of education and people now being aware. A few months ago i found out a cousin of mine in India who is about 24yrs old also has aids. i know that if people were more educated and people were more aware of these things..aids could be prevented from spreading and one day be history.
