WORLD AIDS DAY 2014



Each year, World Aids Day is observed on December 1st. This day is dedicated to raising awareness on the Aids epidemic caused by the spread of the HIV virus. Every 9.5 minutes someone in the United States alone is infected with HIV. The sad part is that 1 in 4 new HIV cases is among the ages of 13-24, what's even scarier is that most of them are unaware that they even contracted the virus.

By practicing safe sex as well as getting tested, we can do something to prevent the spread of this virus that has already claimed the lives of millions all over the world. Whether you are sexually active or abstaining from sexual intercourse, protecting yourself is a lot better than a positive test result.  


Although there are people in the world living with the HIV virus, others do lose their fight against AIDS, so please always protect yourself, not only against HIV/ AIDS, but also against other sexually transmitted diseases. And remember, "Ignorance and fear are deadly partners in the fight against AIDS."- Unknown.

STERILE PROCESSING WEEK: INTERVIEW WITH STERILE PROCESSING TECHNICIANS

First and foremost, I would like to wish all of my fellow Sterile Processing Technicians a happy SPD week, I know it's almost over but thank you for your service and all you do in the field of Sterile Processing. I would also like to thank all of my colleagues for taking the time out of their busy lives to participate in this interview making this post possible.  As Sterile Processing Week wraps up, I wanted to share a more in depth behind the scenes look into the life of a Sterile Processing Technician as well as what it is we do exactly.
