What do you think life will be like after there is a cure?

I can’t wait. The day is coming. I feel because of the impact of HIV/AIDS starting in the early 80's, and to where we are today, and where we’ll be when the discovery happens, the generations that lived through it will never be able to go back to sex as usual. Because of HIV/AIDS our perception on sex and ways to have sex will be forever changed. Prevention, safe sex, and condoms will always be on our mind. This will also affect the way we teach the generation that has no fear of fatality from AIDS pertaining to sex, but the messages will always be in our head, so this is what we’ll pass on.


    

Other STDs

What do you think life will be like after there is a cure?

My first thought is that unfortunately many more people will be infected with HIV if there is a cure because some people will not worry about giving others an infection that can be cured. HIV is primarily an infection spread through sexual activity and there has never been a sexual transmitted disease that has disappeared from humans even when there is treatment for these diseases. I would hope that the youth would receive lots of education in schools about these various STD's, so they could practice healthy sexual activities with protection.


    

Dancing In the Streets

What do you think life will be like after there is a cure?

If we were blessed enough to live to see a cure, there’s no doubt in my mind that there would truly be dancing in the streets! Oh what a glorious day it would be just to know that people need not fear the pains of HIV infection. The clubs would be rocking. Fears of death would be lifted, and families would stop lying to rest their love ones. No more pills, no more doctor visits, and no more worries in the night. The sadness, the despaired, and the emptiness of loosing a loved one to HIV and AIDS would be no more. A cure would truly be a God sent for all, HIV infected or not. Happy days would truly be here again, and just maybe we can back to a life where relationships and love takes the place of random sexual encounters.


    

Victory

What do you think life will be like after there is a cure?

Well, first off, I will participate in the final victory AIDS/LifeCycle ride. After that, I think it's important to keep getting the message out that there are other sexually transmitted diseases that can cause problems--even death if gone untreated. Outreach, safe sex practices and communication are the key.


    

One Big Party

What do you think life will be like after there is a cure?

When they find a cure, life will be one big party! I also think it will be a bittersweet time as we reflect and look back on all the ones we lost. It will be a beautiful day and I know I will live to see the day it happens.
