On this day, sending my deepest love to Michael and anyone/everyone afflicted by this condition. Let us hope that with enough awareness and dedication, we can make a difference in helping those with it and helping those who are at risk.

I believe one day
it will be nothing more
than a distant memory
...
Until then,
remember to SING

The World Bank shows the population of the UK as of 2009 at 61,838,154. The same source shows Irelands population as of 2009 at 4,450,446. As of July 2009 the US Census Bureau indicates the population of the USA at 307,006,550.
Let's do the math. That's a little over a tenth of the USA population.It's more than half of the UK's population. And it's more than all the people of Ireland put together.
I wonder if someone would actually make a cure available if HIV/AIDS was isolated to any one of these three nations.?.
