an aid for aids

just had a bathe.. tried this new hair style with my hair. oki.its not mohawk if you're guesing. its just that i put my hair into a way that it seemed to have a fringe.haha oki enough of hairstyle and whatsnot.. here today, i;m going to blog about an issuee i just read(past tense) in the newspaper-aids.. hiv.. its is stated that the Singapore government is not subsidising any aids medication in s'pore...well, at first i thought.. hmm.. oki. but when i kept reading through the article, i found out that in thailand, they get subsidies, this may be the reslut of thailand's declining aids infection rates, from 140,000 to 17,000.. whereas, the rate in s'pore increased from 42 cases to 432. well. it maybe due to the fact that more people are stepping out of the shadows and are willing to test for hiv.however, the medical fees in s'pore are more expensive.. hmm.. maybe from $800 to $1,600.medicine in thailand is about $100? wow... no wonder s'poreans are going to other countries for their medicine...



oki.. this post is like 2 days old haha.... well, read in the monday paper. yesterday that yes, the government should treat aids like any other illness or sickness.. they should receive subsidy for their treatment and medicine. we, as the society should give them compassion. embrace them, not shun them.. yes i agree, it would be hard.. who isn't afraid of the risk of getting HIV? but even still... is it right to flee at the sight of them.. i guess its a thought that many of us should ponder upon.

=do something right=
