With my project, i hope to reach into the minds of teenagers, despite their ignorance, will understand the consequences of having sex at a young age such as receiving dangerous diseases or ending up pregnant that will change their course in life. I want teenagers to understand that even if this does happen to you, their is always ways to get through it because your not the only one with the same issues, there are plenty of others who are going through the same process that can help you get through the rough times. Hopefully, by providing this information it will help them in their future and apply their experience to their life and become better, strong adults.

"Cocktails"

In my research I've learned that patients who are dealing with conditions affected by HIV/AIDS are having to repeat certain routines every single morning to help them get through the day. Patients, such as my cousin, would take what they call a "cocktail". Basically a large amount of pills that help reduce the virus in the blood (viral load) so it is no longer detected. Though AIDS cocktails aren’t a cure, they are a very effective treatment. They can delay progression to AIDS, help rebuild and maintain the immune system, and reduce complications.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO??

If you are insecure of your partner or feel in any way they might be lying to you of their past, Its always smart to go get checked. You are never too sure to get yourself checked because HIV doesn't show up quickly and could me mistaken for another virtual infection like a cold or a regular flu. You start to get sick while the virus (HIV) starts to multiply through out your whole body and weaken your immune system. The most severe systems do not surface until a few years later so if you have had sex, its never too late or early to get yourself checked out at a hospital or clinic.

"THE STARTING POINT"- HIV

When your a teenager, you feel as if you have the world in your hands. Your health is so great its easy for you to recuperate from any physical damage you've taken. The young body is amazing, the skin is fresh, usually all your systems are working properly and its our responsibility to keep that stability in our systems because if we don't take care of ourselves, we WILL suffer the consequences.

Lets say you start to have relationships with that special person, your girlfriend or boyfriend, its okay in my point of view to start having sex at a young age (15 being the least) because teenagers always end up doing it anyways. The most important concept to remember though to all you teenagers is that before you start having sex you are always suppose to wear protection. Most teenagers do not respond to this because their feelings get in the way and their minds dont think of the concequences they will face in the long run. All they are thinking about is that other person and how much they "love" each other.

Usually when you love a person, you believe every single thing they tell you but it's now always true. Maybe that person is telling the truth but is it really worth the risk to not wear protection?

Have you ever thought maybe she/he is not telling me the truth? Can i really trust this person to tell me EVERYTHING single thing of their past? Can i really do this??

My father when i started growing up would always tell, "when you grow up, your going to start going out a lot with your friends and such, but my advice to you is when you meet a person your ready to have sex with, always wear protection!". Everyone out there is not 100% telling the truth. There is always a lie somewhere around there and you might never know if your loved one had sex with the wrong person and leave you with the consiquences. If that person is diagnosed with HIV it will transfer from his body to yours since the body wasnt protected and you (the victim) will suffer from the effects of HIV that will eventually lead to AIDS.
