AIDS is a pandemy, and we still need to raise awareness about it. And that´s what Showtime and Alicia Keys paired up to do.
To commemorate World AIDS Day, SHOWTIME will premiere “KEEP A CHILD ALIVE WITH ALICIA KEYS,” a powerful documentary that bears witness to the AIDS pandemic in South Africa, on Thursday, December 1st at 9:00 PM (ET/PT). The film follows five Americans (Talaina Brown, Kristen Dyer, Rachel Hathaway, Aaron McCoy, and Sonya Soni) who won the chance to travel with music superstar and AIDS advocate Alicia Keys, to Keep a Child Alive’s funded sites in South Africa, during the exhilarating atmosphere of the first World Cup on African soil. Through their eyes, with Keys as their guide, the film chronicles the incredible beauty of the people they encounter and the sorrow they witness as they meet the faces of the statistics; the 5.7 million people currently living with HIV and the 15 million AIDS orphans, in Africa alone.
“What I love most about our documentary is that it really is told through a human perspective, and by telling it in that way, it brings the AIDS epidemic home and makes it completely relatable and powerful,” said Keys. “We hope everyone who watches is as affected and moved as the five Americans who traveled with me to experience the crisis first hand. Many thanks to SHOWTIME for helping us ignite a conversation about the AIDS pandemic as KCA continues to work to galvanize a movement to save lives and end AIDS.”

The reason Aids keep spreading is that people out there are still keeping people in the dark and people often don’t think about getting tested with there parents before they start a relationship with a stranger.
Children are a blessing and they are the future and the problem is that people out there know they have Aids and simply don’t care or really give a dam about spreading this Disease and a man already knows he is effected and will have sex with a woman and give it to her and get her preganant at the same time and make that child suffer and that woman as well and it seems like no one is throwing this people in jail and making them pay some kind of way.
People with Aids should have a mark on there body some where to warn other people out there and so they can be safe and not spread this disease to other people….This could save the life of many Human beings and not create more health problems to other people in the future?
I love children because they are the future and they are little people who are growing up and are going to be the future leaders of this world and they are nice and kind and thoughtful and they are the future of this world and they all need to be protected and with aids out there children need to be educated and respected.
What is so great about children…Is that they are little people and you never know how big they are going to grow and..To watch a child grow up is a gift and…It is pure joy on so many levels and what I mean by that is that…I Have 20+ Newfews and they used to be little men but they are full grown men but…In the back of my mind! I will alway think of them as my little babies and…THIS IS THE REASON WHY..I Think back on picking them up and holding them and…To see them grow is amazing on so many level..THERE FEET GETTING BIGGER THEN YOURS AND THERE HANDS GETTING BIGGER THEN YOURS IS PRICELESS ON SO MANY LEVEL…Because when I see them I often see them as Babies and…In the Back of my mind they used to be little people and Know they are Grown Men and have familys…The way I feel about them is always being my baby… SILLY HUH.
Children are the future and there are people out there hell bent on killing other people and spreading that aids still and who has to suffer the children and really there life is over before it begains? Evil and Heartless people out there who need to pay for there crimes?
People are still playing games out there and still passing aids around and when you look at people that offer themselves so easy on the first date is a red flag and at that point all respect is lost for that man and…I Feel this need to leave the date and get out of his company…To offer your body to some one you don’t know is some one who has no respect or care for themselves or there health and when you talk to people about safe sex…They often fail the test of safe sex is and what is needed is education applied to schools to teach are young adult how to have safe sex and also need to learn the bad part as well and what that disease will do to your body if you are stupid.
There are so many stupid dump people out there and…It is best to educate them all about this issue or more people are going to die and matter of fact it is the people that we are keeping alive going around infecting healthy people out there and…It is hard to deal with…On some level this people already know they have this disease of aids but they are not educated in safe sex and when some one goes down on you..Rather your a male or female…You have just killed yourself…But that is the reason…I Like to take it nice and slow and…If some one is not willing to get tested there is not going to be a relationship?
Aids is Horror and I Have lost over 100 friends and some family to that and some woman took back the men that cheated on them and where already effected and…Just think you sleep with every one that person has slept with and if people can’t be faithful to each other and there is no trust…Just let them go once a cheater is always a cheater and…The cheater will always find a more back stabbing way to cheat on you again and this time not get caught. But as Men and ladies out there getting cheated on…Don’t be afraid to be alone and…Even though you love him or her…It is better to look at yourself and start loving yourself and if you have children…Think about them and don’t make your kids go throw what your going throw…Your children learn from you and you are there role models and what Hell you maybe going throw…you would not choose that for your children.
I love children and it really breaks my heart to see children suffer and go throw this heartach and it brings me to tears and makes me want to cry knowing this childern future are truely crushed before they even get started and life is already hard enough and…Life is not always fair and this kids have to suffer and go throw pain and face health problems and there life has just started and it show that there are Heartless and soul-less people on this earth who are unkind and hateful towards Healthy people and…Sabotager and full of dislike and Devil and Evil people.
