Every HIV/AIDS victim gets life extending meds...then what?

HIV/AIDS is on the increase as well as other incurable sexually transmitted diseases. CDC has declared it a pandemic and according to Poverty.com 3/27/2007 ONE PERSON EVERY 11 SECONDS dies of AIDS in the world. Some have said it far exceeds bubonic plague (black death). According to the Red Cross, 1 in 10 are infected in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland and Zambia. In America it is reported over 65 million Americans have an incurable sexually transmitted disease (old number) and you can go country by country and learn of dreadful infection increase. Meds do not cure the disease. Extending lives only means there are more people on earth to continue the spread. So my question is, "What if every HIV/AIDS VICTIM HAS SUFFICIENT MEDS, WHAT THEN?

if an HIV- AiDS patient is only given sufficient medication and has no change in mentality, the pandemic is fuelled even more as that person becomes sexually active again. The preventative measure most effective and least costly is obviously abstinence. It costs 30 cents per year for one coupple where as providing HIV treatmet costs $1000 per patient per year. A prevention campaign in Uganda based mainly on abstinence, was as effective in reducing rates as a vaccine with 80% efficacy. It was a program that worked, by Aricans for Africans. Later it came under competition from foreign programs that promoed condoms and treatment, raising the rates once more.

Personally, I麓ve seen patients HIV positive, who have already become cachexic and wasted, only to become apparently completely healthy again after treatment. One patient who was asking for a testosterone patch said his wife was allright with it because she was HIV positive too. Without a change in mentality, there can麓t be any progress done, and treatment is futil in stopping the pandemic.

In summary, Africa is partly a victim of Western liberal trends and a profitable but very useless HIV-AIDS prevention campaign.

People will live longer more fruitful lives with HIV without showing symptoms of AIDS and continue to do normal everyday things without being bed ridden.. Its a federal crime to spread HIV and i would imagine if you have it you would do your best not to pass it on.. but who knows there are some f'd up people out their... and it is possible to have sex with someone who has HIV without getting it yourself (even though it is probabblly best not to)... pritty sad how scared people are of hiv... when you meet some one with AIDS its amazing how happy they are to recieve a hug or hand shake (No you cant get hiv that way)..
