wire magazine 20 2016 the clear and present danger of hiv aids and stds
DESCRIPTION
This week we published an urgent cover story about the clear and present danger of HIV/AIDS and STDs, in order to raise awareness and, hopefully, save one or more lives. Nothing would be more fulfilling than someone reading this week's cover story and seeking help and changing his life; or using the story to speak with a friend or loved one about changing their behavior to prevent them from contracting a life-threating infectious disease. Every one of us can make a difference in our life and the lives of others. We have to take action in order to do so!TRANSCRIPT
