I remember the first campaign to raise awareness of Aids while at school in England. General public opinion back then was that only gay and lesbian people were at risk, and that it could be caught by having contact just like a handshake with an infected person. Thankfully, a very bold and couragous woman, Princess Diana helped ease the nation when captured tenderly holding an infected HIV baby. 20 years later HIV/Aids is still claiming lives every minute of every day. Despite great moves forward into understanding this deadly disease, there is yet no cure to Aids.
