how can sports help curb hiv aids in the world?

By recognizing AIDS is a real danger, promoting "safe sex" and by "talking about AIDS and telling people that it is a real danger and threat to the human race!  Sports could play a big role in the fight against AIDS or any sexually transmitted disease, or life threatening disease, by being open and talking about it!

nothing can cure the HIV virus. it may aid in slowing down the symptoms. but cure it, no.

It's still prominant in third-world countries, especially Zimbabwe and South Africa, where nearly 25% of their population have it! It's definitely increasing!!  Luckily, more people are being educated about HIV prevention with the use of condoms, etc.

There is NOT YET "cure" for AIDS.  There are several approved drug treatments that seem to slow the growth of the HIV viruses (which causes AIDS), and seem to slow the progress of the AIDS disease.\nSo far, these are imperfect for several reasons; they don't work for everyone, they have serious side effects, and the virus is "learning" to overcome these drugs.\nCancer is actually many different diseases, with many different causes, affecting many different parts of the body, and with many different outcomes.  There are cures for a few types of cancer; effective treatments for many others; but there are still some types that we don't\nhave effective weapons to use against.  \n\nWell.. But i believe it is on progress. see the links below. \n\nit's happened a long time ago... when people didn't believe about long distance communication [telegraph, phone, radio], or a box which could show some pictures [tv].

December 1st is world AIDS Day, how about an article of how it effecting Children in Africa (or about how gay teens are a growing segment of the infected).  I think we are tempted to write of HIV like it was yesterday, but it is still real, and people need to be reminded how to prevent it.

How do you "make sex?"  I thought someone "has sex" which really means participates in sex acts.  Sadly, "f___ing" is a more of a verb than what you just said...\n\nAnyhow, it's good exercise and exercise is said to actually improve life expectancy.\n\nON THE OTHER HAND, you may be confusing sex with one partner with frequently having sex with strangers or acquantances.  In this case, one drastically increases the odds of contracting a sexually transmitted disease and then, yes, drastically decreasing their life expectancy - even if they have access to the new anti-virals because - as you probably know - HIV is not the only STD out there.

no total rumor.  There is no way for that man to get aids.  he is married he aint gonna pull a kobe and he has kids so he would have found out long ago.

Of course not.  \n\nYes, irresponsibilty plays are part into why SOME people get HIV or AIDS, but these people have a disease that might take away their life!  What they need is support and understanding more than anything - all with HIV-AIDS, not some.

Well while those are the most common way to contract AIDS, you can also get it anytime your blood or bodily fluids come into contact with someone else's blood who has AIDS. So if you were to help clean up a cut of someone who had AIDS and by chance also had a cut on your hand and their blood got into your cut there is a very good chance you would contract it as well. Any other possible way is very rare and almost certainly unlikely, because you're not gonna wear someone else's dirty underwear or anything like that, lol

we cant....it is a monstrous task, and one that will not be eradicated until a cure is found.  Most of these people do not fully understand what aids is, or don't even know it exist, or don't believe it is real.  I was watching a discovery channel presentation and they asked this African woman if she believed she could get aids, her response, "Only bad people get aids"

A certain percentage of any population will be naturally immune to a particular disease, including HIV. There is no way known, as yet, you improve your immunity to HIV and any attempt would entail great risk. Foods might help, but the risk is too great. Play it safe.

It can transmit HIV, the virus that can lead to AIDs.

Don't know how urine therapy is going to help the trasnmission of HIV/AIDS. Boosting the immune system is great but aids is a highly specific virus that attacks T-cells and macrophages. Often times the fetus is taken as a forgeign entity and attacked by the mother's own body. By these very same leukocytes. I don't know how likely it is but I would assume the chance is very high for transmission to occur. We can't even cure AIds at this stage in time. How could we isolate the disease in one area of our body and keep it from others. It's not entirely feasible.

-Injuries\n-Unfair amount of money... [Some sports stars get paid more than world leaders. People in third world countries are working so hard for less than a dollar a day.]\n-Social Status [People who excel at sports are more popular than those who aren't for the most part.]\n-No equal opportunity [Not everyone can play sports well depending on the shape of their body.]\n-Scandals [Steroids, lawsuits, cork-filled bats,etc.]\n-Not fair for students of the fine arts. [Schools are having to eliminate their music programs, but keep their sports programs.]

There is no prevention medicine for AIDS.  \n\nThere are education, condoms, and life-sustaining drugs.  \n\nHere's info on who gets what how:\n\nhttp://www.globalissues.org/health/aids/\nhttp://www.globalissues.org/TradeRelated/Debt/USAid.asp\nhttp://www.globalpolicy.org/socecon/develop/aids/2003/0603billion.htm

Yes. The Government doesn't do enough to help prevent HIV and the spreading of Aids. Some people still think by raping white women or babies cure Aids. To educate the people will be the main part in preventing the spread of the disease.
