The Red Pump Project was brought to my attention through one of my classes. After talking about HIV and AIDS in class two weeks ago, it reminded me of this. This website has an article that discusses how prevalent HIV and AIDS are on college campuses. The article discusses how college is the perfect place for HIV and AIDS to be transmitted. Many of the stereotypes are “only gays get that” or “I don’t hang around those types of people” but the thing is these stereotypes aren’t true. With college being a natural place to party and let your hormones loose, HIV and AIDS are on the rise on college campuses. Many people don’t realize that they can be infected by this disease. Until college student starting taking this issue serious, many people will be infected when just a little of thinking could have saved them.
The Red Pump Project tries to raise awareness of this disease. There are articles on their website about HIV and AIDS as well as information about how to get involved. The website is: http://www.theredpumpproject.org/what-we-do/
