You guys are bickering about the same shit.
Can anyone explain why the mainstream media has ignored the AIDS problem for the past decade or so?
I cannot explain this. Could it be that because nothing much has changed in the world of HIV that the media feels they have nothing to report. There is still no cure and the big drug companies are still making a fortune off the virus. Hmm. I am not one for conspiracy theories but greed is a powerful motivator. There is probably more money in people being sick with HIV an AIDS then there is in curing it.
As long as idiots continue to think of HIV as a "gay" disease, there will be folks who believe catching the often deadly virus is "just deserts" for a life ill spent. Since Black Africans continue to be the hardest hit with HIV and since most of the western world gives a shit about Black Africans or Africa in general the push to cure or find a preventative inoculation for HIV is probably on a back burner.
Unfortunately from what one does read, the lack of media attention has deluded some folks into thinking HIV is no longer a problem. There are those uninformed folks who have reengaged in unsafe sex practices as a result.
