| I prepared this site as part of an HIV/AIDS class I completed while a student in English education at the University of Central Florida.
Some of the pages (such as the one on origin) I created to suit myself; other pages and materials are here to suit my teacher too, and thus there is information in some pages that I normally would not deal with much (I did not date in college and do not date now), that might be boring or a bit disturbing to some, but perhaps useful to others. Hence some of the contents may not be appropriate for all ages--and so there is a section listing links for younger visitors (below). I enjoy the outdoors, love animals, and believe in conservation! |
Since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, researchers consistently have noted a strong . . . association between HIV/AIDS and other STDs in [both] developing and industrialized countries, including the United States. . . . Diverse . . . studies have indicated at least a twofold to fivefold risk for HIV infection among persons who have other STDs . . . . |

Aids sufferers and HIV-positive people, for the most part, do not receive adequate care, since antiviral treatments are very expensive. |

And especially dedicated to McBufderTuf and Todja, my two poor gypsies, and to their surviving heirs. Always my only true loves. This site is not a religious site.) |
