Did you know that today is World�s AIDS day? Did you know that it CAN happen to you? Did you know that 3 million people died of AIDS just last year. That is 8,000 people a day. Did you know 25 million people have died since the early 80s. Did you know that the vaccine isn�t here yet? It ain�t over folks. The anti-retrovirals are literally life-savers, BUT they will control every moment of your life. Mikey and I see this every day. If you can�t be bothered to wrap your willie before sex, how are you going to be tied to an unforgiving med taking schedule. We won�t even mention projectile diarrhea and the expense. OK, we will, $3,000/month. You won�t be rock climbing like the guys in the pharmacy ads. Don't blame God or Reagan or the pharmaceutical companies. Blame the virus. Then commit yourself to taking personal responsibility for your own health. Trust Dr JJ on this, there is NO sex out there so great that it is worth dying for. There isn�t even any sex worth the projectile diarrhea. If you can figure out ways to have mind-altering, headboard banging, screaming for Jesus safe sex, you lack imagination. Try harder. Be creative. Be selective. Try Pleasure Plus condoms. And kids, 13-21�you are the fastest growing AIDS demographic in the USA. You are not immortal. You can catch the virus and it will kill you. I�ll tell you what Daddy Travis told me �Son, if you want adult privileges, you accept the adult responsibilities. If you are going to have sex or drive a car or have credit cards, you must understand the risks and play by the rules.� That means that when you dick is harder than Chinese Arithmetic and he or she is willing and waiting, you take a moment and play by the rules. No glove, No Love. There's not much anyone of us can do to save Africa, except maybe Bill Gates, Bless Him! But you can save you. This is life or death. We love you, we don�t want you to become a statistic
