"You can live with HIV for years but die everyday from discrimination"
This post is about people who got HIV, and got discriminated in many ways.
For example, family disown, fear of achieving a dream, and nobody wants to be their friend.
There is also a story about how doctors "cleaned" a HIV patient with clorox to "disinfect".
HIV is unable to transmit through physical activity such as sneezing, hugging or swimming in the same pool.
As Jo-Jo Struys went to the PT Foundation for more stories,
she came upon many discrimination stories, most of them involved family disown.
All in all, even thought someone is living with HIV, it is not an excuse to be discriminated by other people.
As a student, do not stop imagining things, as it may come true even bigger than you think.
This post talks about how 4 students who are trying to finish up their final programming project, yet ended up as the finalist of this year's "Olympics of student technology", the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2010 Malaysia finals.
They won themselves RM10,000 and to represent Malaysia for the World finals in Poland.
The software they made is concentrating on housewives who have a hard time deciding what to cook for dinner.
It includes sections that shows nutrition value, allergic, or medical issues such as diabetes.
So if a person is allergic to peanuts, they could check off this ingredient, and get another list of "peanut-less" recipes.
Easy, fun, and very new.
