Stigma and discrimination has been named as one of the main reasons for the spread of HIV and AIDS in the Caribbean region and Dominica have had its fair Share. I remember clearly when I saw the first Dominican infected with the HIV virus through a public forum held on the famous trade union steps in lagoon, Roseau. The individual who was then presented as a male from Grandbay whom the media never made mention of again as reference to a follow-up. It was one of the most serious public meeting held on these steps and you could hear a pin drop amoung the cord of a couple hundreds of on-lookers awaiting to see Doctor Carissa Etienne present the first publicity campaign against HIV and AIDS in Dominica. People are sensitive to the idea that HIV cannot be diagnosed by the way someone look but by a blood test. However living in a world which is influenced by beauty it has been very difficult for men and women alike to resist the temptation of eating from the tree of good and evil. Oral Sex and Condoms We eat and we eat and we don't use the only means of protection that is available during sexual activity.
As we enter the 21st century we have seen the social media being bombarded with photos of men eating women private parts. Are there condoms for this? And vice Versa. The call for women to suck their male species and to go further for male on male encounters. In a near by oecs territory native men there who do not have the culture of eating coucouloux would regularly find themselves loosing their wives and girlfriends to a Dominican (Commonwealth of) man. So much of the natives began eating pussy as well. Anal Sex and HIV A new trend that seem to be taking over sexual life is anal sex. Anal sex has been mainly known to be
performed by men who have sex with men but in recent times more women are admitting that their man has bull them. Do females who have anal sex know that they are to use condoms during this sexual activity?
And that they are at high risk of catching the HIV/AIDS virus? These new sexual trends has created new challenges that is making it difficult for our society in dealing with curbing the spread of HIV and AIDS to non-infected persons and in some instances from persons who are infected and preventing re-infection. Social Media Shaming The past couple days social media have been busy with
the photos and conversation between a man and a presumably HIV/AIDS infected female. This female has been accused of infecting several guys in Dominica with HIV. Is her actions justifiable in sharing the virus, as it was someone who passed it on to her? Are there laws in Dominica protecting people from those who wilfully infect them with a fatal disease? Are there laws in Dominica protecting persons whose photos and nude videos are plastered all over social media ?
People keep asking if they are positive . You can only know through a test. It not how you look.
