How can we make preventing and curing HIV/AIDS a global priority?

so many people r suffering and dying

start it within ourselves.
taking on personal responsibility is a must.

Well if these people wouldn't have unprotected sex, share needles, etc. it wouldn't have to be a global priority now would it?

well its hard to control people...and one of the MAIN reasons its spreading is the least thought reason...male egos....sexually active females, that sort of thing...i would suggest starting at the root of the problem....africa....then the major areas of problem...like the USA....do a Nationwide or even a World-wide testing..and make it law that those tested Positive be issued a type of holding card or something to wear around their necks like a certain type of necklace or even a *HIV/AID* card for them to hold on to at all times and the cops would have a new type of testing device to tell weather or not you do have HIV/AID(this kind of device is possible), and charge anyone that's positive with a big fat ticket :)

Empower women to have more control over their bodies and sexuality.
End poverty and inequality that make HIV more of problem to treat.
Provide free and easliy availble antiretovirals to all.
Stamp out the stigma that is associated with what is ultimatly just a disease.

If we get rid of sin... then it wouldn't have to be a priority; it wouldn't exist.

But since we can't do that... maybe we should put all gay people, rapists and needle swapers on their own continent all by themselves, and in about 70 years or so, there wouldn't be anymore aids.

Read the book by Dr. Hulda R. Clark, Ph.D., N.D. called, "The Cure For All Diseases." In this, her flagship book, she gives the only two causes of diseases, Toxins and Parasites. And, she is talking about HIV/AIDS as well. These two conditions are totally curable. To me, after doing the research, I have come to realize that these along with a lot of diseases are the result of toxic pollution to our foods and our envirnoment.

Let's not forget the 3rd leeading cause of death in the US is properly prescribed medications. what people are taking for disease is killing them Too !

HIV infection leading to AIDS is ...."INCURABLE till date"....The so called Curable treatment for AIDS ??Fake??...not proven yet.

Major Reason more than 90% cases are due to Sexual Transmission... Rest like needle prick, mother to foetus are less.

Hence...high morals regaurding Honesty and Monogamous(one to one partner)trustworthy relationship will be BEST

If Not possible...Practice Safe Sex...1)NEVER without barrier Contraceptives...2)avoid intimate oral sex which involves exchange of highly infectious vaginal secretion/semen.

Avoiding sharing of needle...

Care to be taken by Medico and paramedical staff to take precautions for interest of themselves and for patients while using Blood Products(Blood,Platelets,serum etc)

Decision to be taken to avoid getting pregnant if lady has HIV infection else should take ART (anti retroviral therapy) under medical supevision.

Hope Scientists will find killer for this major killer but "Golden Truth" is .........PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE.........

Firstly, America needs to get on the bandwagon with Thailand and Denmark and start sex education at a very early age, and also put condom commercials back on TV. The US media acts like that should be a taboo subject, but it's a common fact of life that kids are going to see sex on TV, so they might as well see the ads about safe sex on TV. I have seen more Trojan commercials on TV lately, but not nearly enough. Denmark educates kids about safe sex practices in the fourth grade, so by the time they become teenagers, it is ingrained in their heads to use protection. Because of this, Denmark has one of the lowest STD and HIV rates in the world.

Two people made good points.HIV/AIDS education is not being given in small towns and citeis on the same level as major ones.And these places are seeing very increasing #'s of infections.And those that know wont get treatment in these smaller towns because the fear of rejection from their community.thus,the act like their negative and spread it.So other people changing their attitudes twards those infected could help stop the spreading once others are comfortable with getting help.Also as on of you said,the meds are killing them!The side effects cause more harm than the virus alone because they damage liver,kidneys,stomach,nervous system etc.causing you to die from failure of organs damaged by meds.

end racism and imperialism. the vast majority or pwa's are if africa. the west must mobilize and support a huge education infrastructure with free condoms, sex education, and azt and cocktail meds available as well. unfortunately, africa's not a priority for the west (see darfur). further, the pharmaceutical companies who give mega money to our politicians would raise holy hell if the u.s. forced them to sell their meds at cost (which technically, according to international law, we MUST do). as it stands, africa is too impoverished, thanks to a history of colonization that depleted their natural resources, to mobilize themselves, start an international campaign and demand funding... as gay western men were capable of doing in the late 80s to early/mid 90s. (pwa's account for 37% of the population in botswana alone.)

i believe that the pharmaceutical companies have all they need to prevent, treat and even cure aids but it is more financially profitable to not pursue it ...like cancer...it's a profitable market.....just think about all the researchers, doctors, nurses, technicians, medications, pharmacist's, etc that have jobs and their income comes from these afflictions....think about all the equipment needed people to run the equipment....bottles, labels, pharmaceutical advertising ...on and on ....if you cured AIDS or cancer, diabetes .....how would the poor pharmaceutical companies keep their people employed and bring in the gazillions of dollars they make.

a lil dark...but something to think about....
