=What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of people living with HIV/AIDS? Why do you think so?=

Be honest!

# data[].attributes.body
Most whom are living with HIV/AIDS usually are so demoralised by the fact that they lost the will to do anything for the remainder of their lives, while their health deteriorates.

HIV attacks the immune system. This means that the individual will be less immune to diseases and possibly cancer. So for those who are affected by HIV, they may not have long to live.

# data[].attributes.body
Just like an other ordinary person who is sick, HIV/AIDS patients are strong and have the will to live on.

There are many inflicted with AIDS through no action of their own. Visited an children’s home in Phnom Penh run by Missionaries of Charity (founded by Mother Teresa) once. The children in the home were all HIV+. Their parents had either died or no longer able to care for them, and their relatives don’t want or are unable to care for them either.

There is no cure for HIV, so pp who get it, is waiting to die.

Not accepted by public generally. People will try to avoid them (fear of getting infected) and always associate them with negative things such as substance abuse & risky sedual behaviour.

# data[].attributes.body
Can’t be cured

First thing I thought of is young man go brothel without protection, sharing sexual partners, sodomy and drug addicts sharing needles. The spread of HIV I believe is linked to human desire, especially men and people with such temptation has to deal with it with the right mind for the benefit of the larger population, especially for the babies who has HIV at birth, I mean, this just bad.

Later the child will also get HIV and suffer. People look at the child differently and he or she can hardly live a normal life :(((((

Recently China has 2 genetically modified babies whose immune to HIV. This is the future of healthcare!

HIV weaken one's body immune system and causes infection to take place easily.  It's usually Aids related complications that causes the infected person to die.

# data[].attributes.body
Difficult to accept it, Being judge by society if they are to know one has HIV/AIDS. And it can't be cured. A chance he/she will be bullied and abuse.

# data[].attributes.body
Probably face a lot of stigma and could be hard to get a job for these patient

# data[].attributes.body
As we know, if we are infected by HIV virus, there is no cure. It just waiting for die. our immune Is weakened and wekened, and we dont know when we r gg to die, BUT JUST WE KNOW WE DIE SOON. the feeling is like HELL. no matters what care is given, BUT NOT CURE!! its like a fact. There is no one can change

# data[].attributes.body
Treatment for HIV/AIDS is costly and may only help to prolong life/relieve symptoms, but does not cure them from the disease. Are patients able to cope with the burden financially? Do many choose to forgo treatment due to the costs? Trapping them in this constant cycle in addition to having to handle the stigma?

# data[].attributes.body
honestly to say first thing that come to my mind is this.. so better use condoms

# data[].attributes.body
Its selfish to have this mindset... but i need to protect myself from being infected...

# data[].attributes.body
People tend to stay away from them by any means possible, maybe because they're afraid of infection or just stigmatisation.

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of transmissions are caused by unsafe and irresponsible sex practices (e.g. not getting tested regularly, not informing/asking your partners about it) possibly from fear of getting rejected or stigmatised, though it should not be condoned regardless of the "justification".

# data[].attributes.body
i feel that it’s not it’s easy considering that it’s a life long disease coupled with stigma which would most likely lead to isolation. Medical treatment is also not cheap.
