HIV, will it ever end?



So from recent United Nations figures it appears HIV & AIDS is just as prevalent if not more prevalent than ever. 25 years after its first appearance the disease shows no signs of letting up. Though there is some good news (depending on how you view the glass) in that the number of people with HIV has gone down from 33.2 to 33 million, there is also an increase in countries like China, Russia, Germany, Britain and Australia. New data also shows the number of new HIV cases annually in the U.S is 40% higher than thought. In Kenya the picture is not any better, with 1.8 million people living with the virus.

What are your thoughts on what can be done to fight HIV? Do you think condoms are the solution(what I refer to as the asbestos suit method)? Is abstinence unrealistic, should it be scrapped?
Have you been tested, do you know our status. I have, and I do(I'm negative).

In the meantime the virus continues to threaten mankind, will we overcome it?

    Yes i have been tested and i know my Status...I absolutely think that abstinence is possible. Because i have seen it happen with a few but i has happened. The key is finding people with the same values and rallying for each other. It has been proven that there is power among numbers. Especially for young people in this day and age where everything is against abstinence, accountability is key. When it comes to HIV and married people...that one is a hard one.

When we trust in Him, we can have peace knowing He's with us even in the toughest moments. So, how can we trust in God this year?

Cross Movement Records released a statement today announcing that they will be dropping hiphop artist The Ambassador from their label due to some moral issues going on in his marriage. Here's part of the statement released by CMR Dear Body of Christ, It is with much grief, severe disappointment and an overwhelming fear of the Lord that Cross Movement Records is sad to announce that we will be discontinuing the forwarding and promotion of the Artist and Minister, The Ambassador AKA William “Duce” Branch, due to recent findings of moral failure in his marriage. It is CMR’s past, current and prayerfully, future position that living in moral compromise is unacceptable and never allowable in the lives of any of the ministers that we co-labor with.
