Hey everyone, idk there is just something wrong with the message I think. Lets stop HIV together, yes plz. There just wasn't any thing in this that had anything to do with stoping HIV. What needs to be said is stop having premarital sex. STDs are trasmitted via sex, okay so stop actiing like animals and share your body fluids the only responsible way possible. Marriage Or no sex, everyone do this and HIV along with other STDs would disapear. NO cure needed, no costly research, just gone...

This is very inspiring I been thru this stage. My partner & I are still on the negative side since we did unprotected sex so many times but I caught 2 stds when he had sex with someone else. Now I finally recover, learned my lesson & got a 2nd chance in life. This experience was a huge wake up call im very blessed!!!

1) Worldwide informing/education (so many people don't have the knowledge about the origin and effects of this still incurable disease). The same is true with many other venereal diseases.

2) To abolish/check prostitution, sodomy, pedophilia, etc.

3) To abolish promiscuity (including adultery).

The human being's decency and dignity demand that there is no adultery etc.

but the condom can still break..i think people should have some patience ask the person that they're dating to produce test results before engaging in sex.

[Kelly Gluckman]

The way to prevent HIV is to use a condom when having sex. Thats the whole point of this campaign. People are going to have sex whether you think they should or not. You can prevent the spread of HIV through proper condom use and getting tested regularly.

I heard something on the news recently about a guy who had the HIV virus flushed out of his blood completely somehow, but it's probably still experimental.
