Clearly, there is a way to halt the AIDS epidemic - education that results in the changing of individual behavior. This is also false. Condoms, testing, and having a single partner may help prevent transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted disease, but no sexually active person is risk free. Adolescents now account for one out of four new cases of HIV in the United States. Sadly, this is true.
Adolescents seem to be increasing at risk, due to high risk sexual behavior, as well as drug use.
HIV is easily preventable. The key is prevention. HIV IS preventable. HIV is treatable. Currently, if you are HIV positive, it is important to get regular healthcare and take your medications.
