AIDS response: Spread Love not HIV
It is obvious in our society today that there has been a sea-change in the global AIDS response since 2001. Global funding has increased from roughly US$ 2.1 billion to an estimated US$ 6.1 billion in 2004, and access to key prevention and care services has improved markedly (UNAIDS, 2004). The number of secondary-school students receiving AIDS education has nearly tripled, the annual number of voluntary counseling and testing clients has doubled if not more than double, the number of women offered services to prevent mother-to-child transmission has increased by 70%, and the number of people receiving antiretroviral therapy has increased by 56% in most countries and parts of the world.
HIV prevalence in most part of the world is no more news; everyone is trying to fight the HIV/AIDS pandemic with all effort possible. What as not changed though, is the stable HIV prevalence which means more or less equal numbers of people are being newly infected with HIV and are dying of AIDS and beneath this apparent constancy of steady prevalence lie’s devastating realities. With the enormous efforts of everyone trying fight this pandemic, the fact and the prevailing wisdom is that a lot of people prefer to spread the virus. With these realities in our society, we have decided to hear your opinion about the spread of HIV/AIDS. The questions and discussion for the next two weeks is as follow;
if I am HIV+ and I know it, but I keep having unsafe sex just to spread the virus, should I go to jail? (Should I even have sex either safe or unsafe with positive or non-positive people?)

We have come across what we feel is one of those rare deals that the public has not heard about yet. Read on to find out more.
Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.
Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements
The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology
We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
