I'm learning more about HIV/AIDS right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is: will there be a cure for HIV/AI DS.As i was reading in my Google reader, this blog post caught my6 attention because it gives hope to the people that you are not alone. In Latin America people with HIV/AIDS are not alone the other people are telling them that they will help them no matter what.
The quote I chose here is basically saying that if you have aids you are not alone. We will help you to get rid off this disease.
I think this is persuasive because the people are in Latin America are not alone because the are helping other people.they give hope to the people with HIV/AIDS that you are not alone.
The magazine -- called "No Estas Sola," or "You Are Not Alone" -- focuses on providing HIV-positive women in Latin America with information about the virus, stigma, their rights and empowerment. Maria Mansilla, the editor in charge of the publication, said, "What we are trying to do through the magazine is to break with the weepy approach, where there is only room for complaints or for the scientific-medical perspective." The magazine is a quarterly publication that is distributed in the 20 Latin American countries where ICW Latina has national chapters. Daniel Barberis, media officer for ICW Latina, said the magazine could be published more frequently in the future
