stop AIDS and STDS

HOW COULD YOU SHOOT HER,
MY BEAUTIFUL AFRICAN QUEEN?

How could you shoot her, my beautiful African queen? How could you shoot her, the woman who birthed your kids? How could you shoot her, the woman who gave you everything, how could you shoot her? She loved you more than anything, how could you shoot her, my beautiful African queen? You shot her with the one thing that she thought was her friend. You killed her, not Tony, or Bobby in them. How could you shoot her, my beautiful African queen? You didn’t beat her or make her feel like a quitter but you shot her. How could you shoot her, my beautiful African queen? You didn’t give her crabs or HIV but full-blown AIDS. How could you shoot her my beautiful African queen? You put a gun to her temple, you made her ill and sick, and you shot her, the woman who cared about everything. She did what she could and gave everything. You robbed her of her life, my beautiful African queen. Answer me how. How could you shoot her?

I think a step toward stopping AIDS and STDS is as always raising awareness.

yo i think this has to stop real talk the numbers are way to high yo aye check out my post African American Youths Against Hiv yo thats some real stuff no one should have to loose there life over lack of knowledge

thats so true. there is too much information about this silent killer. yet there are still surprising numbers of people catching the deadly disease each year. get out there and get info now!!! this thing does not discriminate. it knows no gender or race or age! get our world help now!!!

I think that the number of h.i.v/aids related cases will only continue to increase becuae it is a silent killer and no one wants to talks about it. Everyone is intimadated by the disease and noone will defeat it until we confront it

true. bt the # will continue to rise until people get check n tell the person their having sex with that they have hiv or aids. until dis happens the # will rise. in teens because we dont take these steps and we really dont generally care because we think were in LOVE when were not. n to some guys L.O.V.E. = Legs Open Very Easily. me myself i aint one bt i took these steps n i dont have any STD's.

I am amazed that you actually stated,

'the # will continue to rise until people get check n tell the person their having sex with that they have hiv or aids. until dis happens the # will rise."

This is not very realistic. People with HIV/AIDS don't have a lot to gain by disclosing their status and, as humans, we tend to fear rejection big time. If a person, in most cases, gets HIV it's there own responsibility.

That's my goal I was going for raise awareness
