Why is HIV/AIDS information more sensitive than any other health condition?

HIV information is so sensitive because of the stigma associated with having the disease. Years ago, when HIV was a death sentence and there was little known about the ways in which it was spread, laws were established to make HIV medical information and the confidentiality surrounding it very strict. This was done to help protect those who suffer with the disease from suffering from discrimination which has been very severe in the past.

HIV/AIDS is a new condition yet it is very old. Over two decades down the road, people have deliberately failed to accept reality. HIV information is more or less like the scripture. It is ever old yet ever new. people will need to listen to the same thing several times before they change behavior. From the fact that HIV is mainly attributed to bad sexual practices and that sexual needs like other needs are insatiable. The continuous need that is never satisfied makes the hearer guilty of making the same mistakes time and again. At some point in time, people become complacent to the information and they end up opening both ears so that whatever information that comes in, exits through the other ear.
