My very first thought is protection. I think of ways the infected person could be protected from being exposed to other viruses. I think if ways people can protect themselves from the disease. I think about education and I want for people to be educated about this disease so we can deal with it appropriately.
2 :
It is actually more common among heterosexual couples, specifically black heterosexual couples, unlike the common thought that it is only between homosexuals. Also, it is difficult to get the virus unless you are having unprotected sex with random people or people that have not been tested. The virus doesn't scare me like it tends to scare other people, but if you know about the virus, you aren't necessarily as scared as everyone else.

It's been largely the combination of lack of resources , both medical and educational, as well as the fact that some government and church institutions initially were putting out false information which was worse than no information.Poverty will mean that some entire countries won't be able to support HIV infected people, house or hospitalize them, or often even communicate education. Even when education can get spread, it may be at odds with local or national preconceptions or attitudes. Africa is many countries and many cultures, some tribal, some European and some in between, some of which have higher educational and economic resources than others; lumping all of Africa together isn't a fair representation of the problem.

rape, stupidity

HIV is a large problem in the african american community, because they still think it's a gay disease and it can't happen to them. Also, there are a lot of down low brothers. There is a stigma about being gay and black. So it goes on educated and the lack of awareness that there are gay blacks. This is made true in black music and media that it is not ok to be black and gay. That is why HIV infection in the african american community is so abundant.
6 :
I believe the number one cause is infidelity. Having mistresses is a status symbol. Often the girls are very young, so bleeding is a problem. Also there is a preference in some areas for "dry" sex, which will definitely ccause bleeding and cuts. Poverty, lack of good medical care, and the stigma of having it all add to the problem.
7 :
One issue: Lack of education about how HIV is actually transmitted/faulty beliefs: People in Africa believe that if they have HIV, and have sex with a virgin, they will be cured. This belief results in a high rate of rape of young people and rapid spread of HIV. Also, because access to medications is limited, women in Africa transmit the virus through pregnancy, delivery, and breastfeeding more often than women in the US do. (In the US, women can take meds to reduce the risk of transmission of the virus during pregnancy, they can have C-sections, and avoid breastfeeding, to further reduce risk of HIV transmission to the baby.)

Did you know Sub-sahara Africa has a different strain of HIV? Africans just love sex!!!

Bringing Hope to the Family currently works with 1200 orphans who are because of Aids these children are lacking in regards to Education, Medical and Nutrition. the Organisation runs a medical centre (HopeAgain Medical Centre) and gives education support to the children. We need assitance to educate the children, treatment and child sponsorship and also income generating activities for the families

I work with Better Universe. Better Universe is a global online membership that generates funds to donate to world charities. They do this through sales of multi-media and a few other membership benefits that help generate funds for Better Universe and 10% of all net profits of the company are donated to world charities. Last year, we generated funds for World Vision. This year they have shifted their focuses towards UNICEF. This is just one of many ways that I show my support. I am also with ONE.org - They're a different type of organization. I guess to answer your question. Take a look at unicef.org and see what they are doing with aids prevention. It's a great start and keeps getting better. As for what you are doing, well that's just golden - to hear people reaching out like that and doing what you do. Does bring a tear to my eye. May you always keep the strong will and never-ending heart. Gob bless and take care, James P Reardon Sr.
