rudy-Diiriye Posted December 21, 2003 sad day indeed! my uncle passed away of aids recently and he left 6 kids! even though doctors told him that he aids, he didnt believe that and thought he had some other disease! he could have survived if was diagnosed earlier! so the majority of these ppl dying of aids. lack of awareness and education is causing this delima!
