In the year of 2015, HIV/AIDS is still in epidemic levels, but there are now treatments that can at least halt the effects of the virus, providing a quality of life deemed impossible just 15 years ago. Many with the disease are able to live reasonably full and active lives - if they can afford treatment, that is. We are on the way to possibly having a cure within the next 5 to 10 years, but until then, we have to keep an eye on the continued social effects of the virus: the stigma.
- To what extent do you believe the fear & stigma of HIV/AIDS is valid?
- At what point is the fear illogical, given the advances in treatment available today?
- How can we combat the stigma that is so prevalent across society?
- What is the best way to educate a person on the subject?
- Any other thoughts you may have on the matter.
