Many people see it as HIV or other incurable diseases,hence,stigmatising those living with it.Some people I've met believe that those concerned can't live a normal life and that they are only marking time. I believe with the God factor and crucial information early enough, it's surmountable.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04960819166004888894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513992600551480378.post-42800585386952896532014-07-05T09:03:45.561-05:002014-07-05T09:03:45.561-05:00Those words are actually 'grammar' used in...Those words are actually 'grammar' used interchangeably to describe the condition. See? I just agreed with you. Lol.<br /><br />But seriously, so long as it isn't a normal 'condition' and it affects a part or all of a human structure / system / functions causing specific symptoms, then it's a disease.<br /><br />Too much grammar, again. *smiles*<br /><br />Thanks, bro.Abiolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957454452077890304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513992600551480378.post-57747737663254124562014-07-05T08:32:18.702-05:002014-07-05T08:32:18.702-05:00Hnmmm, quite informative.
