Ever hear of AIDS? Where do you think it came from? Do you REALLY believe that it has something to do with monkeys from Africa? Any chance that the U.S Government had "something" to do with it,but it did`nt take off like expected,in order to decrease the population? Go to www.infowars.com to learn more!

Why is it so hard to believe that people get HIV from unsafe sex?\n\nIt doesn't matter if he was black, gay, straight, jewish or republican.... you can only contract HIV so many ways....\n\nand why would the government care about him?

I have always believed that secrets are destructive to us and the society.  \n\nThis secrete can kill many people should the HIV/AIDS carrier be immoral and abuse the privacy that he/she is gifted <privacy is a gift!>.  \n\nIt is also wrong for our society to remove the human dignity of those who suffer from HIV/AIDS.  It is so easy to judge in today's society that we will often joke about such a grave matter thereby removing human dignity.  Additionally, there is the financial judgments that arise with public announcement of an individual carrying HIV/AIDS.  Our current system would leave such an individual unable to seek medical assistance by publicly announcing the disease.  Lastly, us humans have a desire to remove and destroy out of panic.  Should we have a list of those carrying HIV/AIDS then a few of us would hunt and kill these individuals.\n\nSadly, until humanity can tame it's health care system and hysteria, we should keep individuals with HIV/AIDS private <secret>.  However, the privacy of this individual should be taken away should they abuse this privilege; I wish there was a better way than exposing the innocent, but I cannot imagine a different way.\n\nHopefully, someone else has a bigger imagination than mine.

You know, to be honest, I would continue to see my Doctor if he had AIDS. Unless he bleeds into your eyeball, mouth or an open wound on your body, then I think a person would be safe. It's the Doc's manner and skill that are important to me. However, a lot of people would be afraid because of ignorance and I don't mean that in an insulting way. A lot of people are fearful of that which they do not understand so the poor Doc might not get many patients. Come to think of it, I was treated by a Doctor who had AIDS but I wasn't worried and I'm fine to this day.

HIV/AIDS in Southern Africa is primarily a heterosexual disease; and many factors contribute towards it : low education levels, male-oriented societies with multiple partners and wives the norm, traditional healing/witchcraft beliefs (eg belief that sleeping with a virgin cures AIDS, discouragement of condoms), poverty/malnutrition and concomitant illnesses accelerating HIV progression, slow governmental reaction and lack of political leadership and will (South Africa), lack of money for adequate anti-retrovirals (and poor compliance due to lack of education), and a blind eye turned on the problem by the rest of the world when compared to ridiculously insignificant global problems (comparatively speaking) such as bird flu etc.\n\nIt is an absolute tragedy, and has decimated many communities (and continues to do so).

Fear is a natural defense that is there to protect you from harm.  It is only a problem when it is inapproapriate like when you are afriad of the dark or of hieghts.\n\nFears of homosexuality is the fear of stigmatism from other people who are also afraid of the same thing.  If people like you are not afriad, then neither will other people be, for they will learn that it is part of human nature since none of us are perfect.\n\nHowever, there is the risk that you may be ridiculed if you advertise this, but these days, since so many people know about it, it wouldn't be to the extent that it would have been in the 1970's or 60's.\nOf course, if your still at school, that fear is greater amoung people and so is the resulting rediculs.\n\nIt your chioce whether you decide to advertise it or not.\nIf you wish, you should speak to someone you trust.\n\nCREED

I may get yelled at for this but...\n\n...there is a Freudian explanation that says that people are homophobic because they are surpressing their own erotic feelings towards the same sex.\n\nThe other explanation is that they are narrow minded idiots ;-)

AIDS is no longer a gay disease. Trust westerners to be so incredibly insular in their understanding. More heterosexual people have AIDS on a global scale. It affects everyone and not just 'sexually immoral' people.

The link below may help.  It has breaking news in Health.  The AIDS epidemic is always topical.

For the most part there is fear, because people hate being reminded of their mortality.  On the other hand, there is compassion if you go to the right people.  Most times, people think of HIV as a death sentence and forget that people who have it are LIVING with it NOT dying from it.

Lot of questions about homosexuals and HIV from you dave, sounds like you are trying to tell the world something about yourself.

The problem lies with the culture of the areas.  They don't realize that sex spreads HIV.  In fact its thought that the only way to get rid of the disease is to have sex with a virgin.  Its a sad world we live in indeed.  Also note that they are used to poor hygiene.  This is a leading problem.  I'm not saying everyone over there is like that, but some people is all it takes.    On a side note, the fact that we aren't exposed to the viral epidemics (affects our tolerance and our immune systems ability to cope with the disease) has a small part to play as well.

Duh!! What do you think, you IDIOT!??? Used condoms are DANGEROUS! Ya know, there are two very dangerous diseases out there called AIDS & HIV. Have you heard about them? Well, HIV is the start of AIDS. Some people just stay with HIV (like Magic Johnson), but sometimes, it turns into AIDS, which is fatal (at least until the doctors find a cure for it). AIDS & HIV can be transmitted from one system to another through two ways: Unprotected sex and using other peoples needles. Which is my USED CONDOMS AND NEEDLES ARE BAD, BAD, BAD!\nOk? Do you get it now?

The problem in the third world countries is not money to be solved by these aids. The problem is corruption, ignorance and social underdevelopment. People there should wake up, thats their only way.
