injecting drug users.? ?The policy of supporting the spread of AIDS hysteria among those not at significant risk causes more suffering to those who are at significant risk. The vast majority of women are simply not at risk for HIV/AIDS. Women are dying of AIDS, but it is not because of heterosexual or lesbian sex. Rather, AIDS disproportionately affects those women who inject drugs, and thereby largely suffer other diseases, poverty, and malnutrition. It is to these women that a just expenditure of public health care funding would go for both education and treatment?education primarily of the risks of IV drug use, not of sex, and treatment of the health problems characteristic of IDUs, male or female.? ?Second, women who are not at great risk for AIDS are also harmed by the current AIDS response. Many women who aren?t at risk of AIDS inevitably, each time they have sexual encounters, think of AIDS. Anxiety, depression, hundreds of thousands?probably millions?of unnecessary HIV-tests, and broken relationships are the results of such campaigns.? Women And Aids: The Ethics Of Exaggerated Harm ? Dr. Udo Schklenk , Head of the Division of Bioethics at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa; ?AIDS by its very definition is incurable. People who develop the disease are robbed of hope of recovery. Yet HIV has nothing to do with AIDS. AIDS is a syndrome of 25 diseases and a deficient immune system caused by malnutrition, medication?both legal and illegal?stressful conditions and no spiritual meaning in life.?
