what do you think abou HIV aids?

Question

do you think we can stop it maybe with more communications at school or educational centres, tell me?

Answer 1

I think there could be many, many fewer cases with prevention education (e.g. how to use a condom, debunking folk remedies such as "having sex with a virgin will cure a person of AIDS") and some HUGE cultural and religious changes! (e.g. the Catholic Church policy towards condom use). This would have to be on a world wide scale since it is a world wide problem, so can't see that happening any time soon.
Although it would be nice if everyone acted in a responsible manner, and everyone would only have one sex partner in their entire lifetime, it is obvious that as long as humans have free will, that just isn't going to happen. People have been and will continue to be...well, human.
The best we can all do is to make sure that we are as safe and responsible for ourselves, and educate anyone you can about the issue!

Answer 2

I don't know if we can really stop 100% it but we could slow it down. It's preventable so if everyone listened and took precautions then very few new people would become infected. The ones who are infected will eventually die of complications or even old age (I'm not trying to be rude but it's true) so there would be less living people with the disease. The problem is people don't always listen, even the people with a good education are STILL having unprotected sex and taking risks. There will always be people who don't know they are infected or lie about it and spread the disease. Education and teaching the importance of safe sex is the most powerful tool we have, but telling people things doesn't mean they will listen.

Answer 3

We already have all these communications in schools etc. And it doesn't seem to be of much help because HIV/AIDS is still one of the most spreadable diseases and no one seems to really take all that information seriously until they think they might be infected because of one night of carelessness. After they've been tested, they resort back to their careless ways, until they think they might be infected and the cycle continues. I'm not saying this of all people, but there are a majority of young people out there today, even with all the sex education in schools,and on TV, on the Internet etc, they are still being infected by all kinds of STD's. and the HIVers are getting younger and younger all the time. So, no, I do not think we will be able to stop it.

Answer 4

And around the world, not just here.

Awareness is the most important thing to get people to do something about anything.

Then, people need to learn how to be more responsible with their own and other peoples bodies.

All of your suggestions are sound.

All anyone can do, is reach one person, and if we all reach one, than many less will have to suffer.

Answer 5

Answer 6

if people would talk about abstinance and practice it then the spread of hiv would greatly slow down and almost stop.

Answer 7

I think we will never stop it, there are too many people going around with it, not telling their partners that they have it.

Answer 8

i don't think we can stop it ....but by you keeping yourself safe and me keeping myself safe that's two less people to worry about ......its a hard reality but true
