AIDS IS A SLEEPING LION

Supriti Das:-  AIDS – Accuried Immunity Deficiency Syndrome, AIDS is one of the most dangerous disease in the whole world. AIDS is seen as a sleeping Lion, which is not found often among people as the peocese for the cure of the this disease is rarely found in India, due to which it is hardly found. And because of this we (the people) feel safe. But this perspective is totally wrong as HIV itself is not a disease, rather a virus. Which enters the human body and spreads diseases in the body, such as cough, cold, fever, tuberculosis etc. which ultimately leads to the death of the person. These diseases act as symptom to AIDS.

We do not have the cure to this dangerous disease but there is a hope of stopping this from spreading among people by taking certain measurements. To spread this awareness among the Women Fellowship of Diocese of Durgapur, a one day seminar has held at the shanti Griha, Durgapur. Sister Sangeeta Gorai of Khristiya Seva Niketan, Sarenga being the mains speaker conducted the session of the seminar under the Nation Council of Churches in India. Many members of the Women Fellowship of Diocese of Durgapur came from different pastorates, they were a total of 34 (members).

Queries like – what is AIDS? How is it traced? How does it spread? How can it be prevented from spreading?, etc. was answered. Sister Gorai said that it is especially the women who can spread the awareness and take steps to prevent it.
