1) HIV and AIDS are huge. Africa probably has the most problems due to lack of eduation and or knowledge of how the diseases spread.
2) Contraceptives. Abstinence.
3) People who have sex with the most number of partners (unprotected) are the most likely to get and or spread the diseases.
4) No idea... 300 million? I honestly don't bother keeping track of this statistic. (40 million wow I was a tad off)
5) No idea.
6) Why should high schools be responsible for educating students about STDs? Assuming it is their job, obviously they're doing something wrong, it's not necessarily how much knowledge you pass along, but how you pass it along. Why do I know some 25 y/o virgins and some 15 y/o parents? It's more than just what school you went to.

1. They are the most common of life threatening diseases because they are sexually transmitted, in the same way that STDs are common. People like to have sex.
2. By encouraging people to have check-ups and tests more often, with the use of the most graphic and explicit scare tactics, the politicians' method!
3. Studies show that, as a group, AIDS is most common among Roman Catholic priests. Put that in your paper and spell it.
4. I think thats a lame question.
5.Everyone...?
6. Why not? Dont they have enough subjects to teach? Teachers are not paid enough as it is, and now we need to extend health class to include social health and morality? No, the educational responsibilty must be distributed as well amongst health care proffessionals, providers, parents, and television networks. The media could do a lot more in getting the message across. If only it was profitable...?

1. HIV/AIDs is most common in Africa and third world countries. I believe that it continues to spread because of a lack of education and a lack of funds for testing and treating it.
2. Education
3. I believe that in the US, it is still more prevalent in gays and drug users. But it is not confined to these groups and is spreading among the poor African American community at a faster pace than among other groups. In Africa, anyone could get it.
4. About 40 Million -- with the majority living in poor African countries.
5. I don't know much about where it is spreading, so can't give you an answer.
6. No -- young peole are not given nearly enough information about sex education. I'm actually more concerned about the increasing pregnancy rate, but concerned about STD educatoin as well.

1. AIDS and HIV are most common in Southern Africa (believed to be the origin of AIDS). It is originally believed to have passed from monkey (SIV) to humans. It was quickly spread mostly by way of promiscuity, and lack of detection and medical aid.
2. Abstinence, condom use, non-drug use.
3. Drug users, by sharing dirty needles. Prostitutes and their clients, by not using protection. People who have numerous sexual partners. Children born to infected mothers. It cannot live outside the body so it is passed mainly in blood and semen (bodily fluids).
4. More than 21 million worldwide.
5. Hospital workers, school-age children...in general anyone who can take the vaccine without complications.
6. Yes, but I believe this responsibility should remain with the parents. Alas, there is not enough parental concern and parenting done.

1. Not enough people are tested each year and limited education on the subject in some countries. Worst in Zimbabwe and Botswana.
2. If a person has had multiple partners, especially if they don't know them well. Get tested to prevent passing the epidemic.
3. Men and women in Africa. People who have multiple sex partners and one night stands.
4. 5 million
5. Same as answer 3
6. Doesn't sound like it. Sex education, including discussion about STDs should start in middle school.

HIV/AIDS of course come from bodily fluids. As sharing needles, and sexual intercourse.
It could help prevent the spread of it if people used safety precautions, wipe up blood, urine spills. use condoms during sex (which is not 100 percent safe as you may know.
That's a questionable one but probable street people, not the gays as they may have thought in the beginning..
Maybe 15 percent are infected nationwide that we know about.. But how many go undetected is the big problem. Or know but do not let others in their circle know....
People that need the vaccine are those working with the public. Home health workers, hospital workers, school employees, of course rescue people..
High schools and elementary need to up their sex-ed programs. I work with children and it is very surprising how much even 4th grades know (and do)....

2.People from other countries should help.
3. People who have a lot of sexual partners without protection, prostitutes maybe, people addicted to drugs who are not carefull enough...
4. I don;t know exactly. Couple of millions?
