Expertise
I can answer pretty much anything in the STD department, even if it isnt about HIV/AIDs. I have experience with HPV and I am attending school now for my licenses to teach in Cell and Molecular Biology. If you want to know more about me you can catch me here most of the time: http://beautifullush.moonfruit.com/ or Sprinkles11689@hotmail.com I am usually on the webpage a lot and signed in on my msn a lot.
Experience
I am attending school for my licenses to teach in Cell and Molecular divison, this is a recent change in my career I was going to school for surgical technology. We have to know all about STDS and other diseases. My personal experience is I have HPV. It is not AIDS or HIV but it is a STD that can cause cancer. I had to deal with the stages of feeling dirty and unworthy and scared. I think that I can help people get past this and further their knowledge of HIV and AIDS.
