[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Approximately 700K people have died of HIV. There is no cure. No vaccine. We did not shut the county down and rob children of their education when HIV was discovered. But then, the folks who were infected with HIV at the start did not have any political power. A sad commentary on this area. [/quote] HIV did not spread through sharing air. In addition, people with HIV can be asymptomatic for years before they know they have it. So the public health measures of "stay at home" or "no large indoor gatherings" would not have any effect. Gathering in person isn't how HIV was spread. "Everyone wear condoms when engaging in sex" WAS an effective measure and it WAS a message we saw. People resisted it, just as people resist wearing masks. But it was pretty much the only public health measure that reduced the spread of HIV, along with lots and lots of testing.[/quote]
