Having a condition like this certainly helps you empathise with people who have serious illnesses. This came up after looking through other bandcamp artists.

When you click on the download tab a box comes up asking for a donation ... minimum $1 ... about 60p in pounds sterling.
I've been aware of HIV more or less since the start. I tell people when it comes up in conversation that it's a good idea to take care of your sexual health and there's nothing wrong with asking people to get their sexual health checked out before sleeping with them if that's how you feel. Use a condom anyway.
It's not just HIV .. there's another bug called chlamydia, which can be cured, though can make women infertile by scaring the fallopian tubes and cause long term pelvic pain, and, of course, herpes, for which there's no cure yet.
Apparently there's been a large increase in diagnosed chlamydia in the UK

There's a lot of info on this site.

I read something that suggested that the number of people who know how HIV is caused has dropped a lot in this country by almost 25% in the years from 2000 to 2007 according to the HPA and I'd've thought that was the most well known of the illnesses.
Heaven knows what people think about the rest as that must be the most well known of them all and you'd hope that. these days the internet would supply enough information for people to know exactly what was going on.
I should imagine, that even so, that chlamydia awareness has rocketted from when I was young. I thought there were talks of there being some kind of awareness campaign nationally.
Well, this is what I found.

Not the only illnesses either.
