Easy to get sick/feel weak. and eventually you get so sick you die.
2 :
Non medical issues are the ignorance of the general population. There are many people who are so uneducated that they believe myths on how people become infected. They also think they can tell if a person is HIV+ just by looking at them. Or that they don't feel they are at risk because they are not gay. Or there are many people who are infected, but have never tested so they don't know they have HIV and are infecting others. These are some of the major issues.

I'm looking for a fiction book of the romance genre that deals with HIV/AIDS

I'm looking for a fiction book of the romance genre that deals with HIV/AIDS?
It can be from the POV of the person who has it or from the other person. I want to read about something that deals at least a little with the fear of beginning a relationship with someone who is positive...Doesnt matter whether its a gay or a straight couple. But nothing about third world countries, please.

Bryce Courtney wrote a book about his son who had AIDS,sounds a lot like its what you're after. I think it was called April Fool,or something similar. A librarian or bookseller will certainly know the right title.

Ken dolls and priests, and monks.
2 :
There's a special blood type called D that's extremely rare. Those with that blood are immune to HIV and AIDS.
3 :
Some people have a natural immunity to HIV/AIDS. Their cells lack the docking mechanism HIV uses to enter the host cell. It has nothing to do with blood type.

1 :
Get yourself tested and wear a condom every time you have sex.
2 :
You get checked too. If you are still un infected take all the necessary precaution. If you tend to chew skin on the inside of your mouth - don't french kiss. Use condoms. No sharing tooth brushes. Go to the doctor together and let him/her explain all the measures you need to take. And you continue to love them - just like you would if the diagnosis was cancer.
3 :
Get tested first try to protect yourself wearing condom abstain from sexual activity
4 :
First off....you cant get HIV from a toothbrush or kissing! Jesus! Get tested! Talk with your partner...if your truly in love youll deal with it and move on!

For some reason I had a hard time finding any current data, but did find this from the 1990s. http://www.aegis.com/pubs/gmhc/1999/GM130504.html It shows that AIDS death have steadily been declining. This information is for the US only. I bet if you do some more web research you can find exactly what you are looking for. Try checking wikipedia.com
