This therefore means that the ball can not be only in the court of the opinion leaders, national governments and international organizations would just have their time and their work. They would conceive and publish the strategies, they would broadcast the information. A greater part of the work lies in the hands of the individual. People need to tune their receiving stations to receiving and accepting the right information. While the broadcasting stations have a responsibility to send out the right information capable of initiation the right action, the receiving stations need to use this information gained to change behaviour. Knowledge gained that is not being put into effective use is useless.
When we listen to a death announcement over the radio concerning a loved one, we scarcely question the authenticity of the announcement or the background of the announcer; we are carried away by grief and take him for his word. Is this the same thing when an HIV/AIDS educator or resource person talks to us about the disease? I am afraid in most of the cases; it’s the other way round. We start questioning their moral authority, their educational background and justifications. We find all excuses to disbelieve them especially when the picture presented clashes with our static mental stereotypes about the disease.
Situations have come up where in people question their HIV test results given by renowned medical doctors even when they know they had been involved in risky activities. Before the test, they had painted a mental picture about the test that pre and post-test counseling could not wash away thus the reasons for their bewilderment when things turn sour. Going in for a test means accepting the fact that the results could be positive or negative. When the results come out negative, you take future precautions and if it turns out positive, you learn how to cope with the disease. There is no need playing the Cameroon – Nigeria game when your results are announced just as these two countries did after the judgment of the ICJ over the Bakassi peninsular.
This demonstrates yet what happens when the receiving station is not getting the right information from the broadcasting station. But the underlying truth is that apart from the dangers you might put others into, accepting or refusing your test results when there come out positive really will not change the fact that you are now a living corps playing for time.
With the presence of hundreds of broadcasting stations now around the world, staying away from the HIV today means turning your receiving stations to receive the information being broadcasted. You must act upon this information to modify your behaviour. Never say ‘I would act tomorrow’ for that one last sexual intercourse you have planned to have before changing is the one that might infect you with a full dose of the HIV. Should that happen, you know you have signed your demand for a death warrant being AIDS.

Writer Profile
Crystal_Abongta
Abongta is my name, some people especially writers choose to call me Crystal Brain. I am 28yrs old and a proud Cameroonian, who insists in seeing things in a slightly different perspective. I have a passion for satire thus my artistic works bring out that aspect in me which is most often kept in the catacomb of my being.
The tyrannical society, in which I grew up, shaped me into what I am today. My works especially the paintings serves as a major outlet without which I would better not exist.
