      Sad to say, most people in my country still see HIV & AIDs as stigma, they still believe in those myths mentioned by hw597. They say that we have one of the lowest HIV infected nation but thats because those who have it are ashamed to say they have it, fearful of what might their friends and family will say to them

        I don't think I've ever met someone who honestly believes this. It's a very old, old idea. I don't think it even survived the 90's.

        Ditto, but I can imagine there's people in places like Uganda (you know, where Mr. "eat da poo poo" comes from) who honestly believe it.

          u can make just safe sex

          Define "safe" sex… Science has shown that having sex without a condom with someone who is HIV+ but has an undetectable viral load is actually safer than having sex with a condom with a person who is HIV+ and has a high viral load. For this reason, "safe" is a matter of interpretation or perspective, given a sufficient amount of proven scientific fact.

            While this a very odd way of thinking I do believe there is at least a one out of four chance that gay/bi people have HIV and don't know it.

              According to Statistics Canada, approximately 65% of persons infected with HIV do not know it until the positive test result comes back. Of that 65%, 43% of those do not show symptoms of any sort.

                  This may be the case in North America, but on a worldwide scale, the heterosexual female accounts for the majority of HIV infections on a global scale. 🙂

                        Polygamy is a choice, in other words; homosexuality isn't.
