==Plot==
Like a wild fire, HIV has decimated the population of promising young talent and manpower in Zambia. Casting a long shadow from one’s past, it has deep and present consequences. The sexual spread is rooted in past choices. If you knew that you were making a decision that night which would change the course of your life, would you choose to take enough alcohol to numb your critical faculties and wipe out your memory of the choice making process? A clear understanding of decisions, consequences and options will help us to make wise choices and re-enforce the sensible decisions that have protected us. Good luck is not enough.<ref name=KO/>
