December 1 was World AIDS Day, according to a recent "Qingdao Morning Post" reported that in order to let more people understand the day-to-day contact with infected with AIDS will not, Qingdao University of Science and Technology students and Red Cross volunteers a few days ago more than 100 people posing as patients with AIDS, With the requirements of the public to embrace, 70 people have been rejected.

Although the matter took place in Qingdao, can not represent the whole picture, it seems, to talk about "Ai" the mere mention of the situation still exists. Despite the years done a lot of relevant information, but the survival of AIDS patients is not optimistic about the environment, they are still under pressure.

People do not understand is the way to the spread of AIDS, fear AIDS will embrace it? May not be, from more unconsciously of exclusion, discrimination or what might be called - not knowing that physical contact transmission, but still far away. Imagine if at that time were asked to embrace their own, can we ensure that calm in the face, will not be turned down?

Is not a reason not understand - and other patients, AIDS patients should be the people's sympathy and love Moreover, a considerable number of people infected with the passive and innocent, such as from the mother of the babies infected with the virus in the blood when the blood was Infected people - this, many people are aware that the only change in behavior is not often take time. Just do not advocate spitting, littering is not easy, to understand the logic of which is one thing to practice is one thing and do another.

AIDS patients suffering from diseases of the body had been tortured again if they were looked down upon, discrimination, abandoned by society, with the passage of time, some people may give up on themselves. Have occurred in retaliation for the wounding of AIDS patients is to give an example. Therefore, if we are not accustomed to embrace this moment too affectionate way, at least, we can look into their well-meaning, as the equal of.

AIDS is a serious threat to the survival of humanity through the promotion of World AIDS Day, the purpose is to allow people to learn more about AIDS prevention knowledge, at the same time raise awareness of HIV-infected people's sympathy and understanding.

AIDS patients get more of a treat, they will be more than a life of self-respect, a number of challenges to the fate of courage. A greeting, a handshake, a hug, to people living with AIDS can be a great encouragement and spiritual solace. Despite the current situation is not satisfactory, it is believed that with the passage of time, to talk about "Ai" mere mention will be gradually gone with the wind.
