Gonne but Not Forgotten

It's a World AIDS Day.
The whole World is celebrating this day in commemoration of People we have lost because of Aids. These people did not have a chance to survive.There was no medication available yet so they have died in so much pain in SILENCE.

SILENCE AND STIGMA ARE THE KILLERS

In many countries those two things are mostly the killers. People have been put in silence because of Stigma around HIV and AIDS. We are not allowed to talk about it in some part of the World. It is still a crime to have HIV .

The times have change, medication is available but still people are dying of AIDS while the World is watching.
My friend Gloria In this foto she lost her brother because of Aids and I lost my Cousin and her husband same time in 2015 . We are remembering them this World Aids Day. We are reminded of how lucky we are to have made it till this day.
We are open  about our HIV status and we give education on HIV and Aids.
Everyday we are breaking the Silence and the taboo.
We are the Voice for many who have lost their voice because of whatever reason they can not speak up.
We can not turn the clock back for our departed , We will miss them but they are not forgotten.
Happy World AIDS DAY.
Peace
Eliane
