Renee Beaulieu Health Issues: AIDS

Care for the community in the community 2008-04-30
This article is focused on the prevention of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This article is focused on the prevention of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The organization that is explaining this article is known as the Butterfly House. They are a community based support system for the child and adults affected with HIV/AIDs disease in Fairyland. This Butterfly House Project is trying to support the people by promoting the prevention aspect of HIV/AIDS. They are wanting to move in the community by October to begin to serve the community. The idea was launched by the Butterfly House two years ago at Drakenstein Hospice. Drakensteing Hospice has looked after more than 265 patients in one month. The hospice center find it difficult the treat and deal with this AIDs epidemic and believe it to be easier and more effective to start a new prevention support center. The staff has had many difficult issues that have been dealing with HIV/AIDs epidemic. Such issues include managing poverty, hunger and unemployment with limited resources. There are space constraints and their only outing for leaving the home is attending day care. They are trying to empower the people who are already living with AIDs, and create a means of support for those who may be at risk of infection and may need the information or the support from the Butterfly House. I believe this article is another great way to inform the world’s population because it is trying to promote prevention. The world needs to understand the prevention aspect of AIDs. There are millions of people dying from AIDs each year. This is a very important issue to have concern.
