People with HIV/AIDS look sickly.
You cannot tell who has HIV by their looks,
very much the same way as you can't tell
where a person lives by his dressing.

There are young "virgin" prostitutes
or special villages free from AIDS.
Why trust a stranger at the expense of
your own life and long-term happiness?

There are lucky charms or magic portions
or special rituals that can be used to protect
yourself from infection or provide a cure.
If this is the case, then medication for HIV/AIDS
would be readily available and the world will
not be facing an AIDS epidemic now. |

AIDS is a ‘gay’ disease.
AIDS does not discriminate between homosexuals and
heterosexuals, young or old, male or female.
The truth is that anybody who engages in unsafe sex or shares drug needles, increases their risk of getting AIDS. Being heterosexual does not protect you from it.

I’m faithful to my husband (or boyfriend), so I have nothing to worry about.

I went for a HIV test and it was negative, so I am not going to get AIDS.
When you contract HIV, there is actually a ‘window period’ where you do not display any symptoms of the virus. You may need to go for a second test 3 to 6 months later, to confirm that you are truly clear of HIV.
Even if the test indicates that you are free from HIV, if you continue to engage in unprotected sex or share drug needles, you will always put yourself at risk of contracting HIV sooner or later.

Remember. there is no cure for AIDS and there is no vaccine or injection
to protect you from HIV infection. Medication, which is very expensive,
can only slow the process of developing full-blown AIDS.
AIDS remains a deadly disease.
