HIV like STDs come very stigmatized and with negative connotations. Therefore, people infected with HIV may be ashamed of their status and refuse to seek help. And those who are uneducated in the area might be unaware of their status and look down on others that are HIV positive. Therefore, cultivating a community around acceptance and support creates a pathway towards ending the growing pandemic. Educating people will further allow them to take the necessary steps in order to prevent and reduce transmission. ]]> 2021-11-30 03:15:10 UTC https://padlet.com/katiexn/z7w3ve0a20tvzsb1/wish/1919471156 katiexn https://padlet.com/katiexn/z7w3ve0a20tvzsb1/wish/1919473003 Here is graphic picture that also displays another reason HIV is a growing problem, besides the fact that many people who are living with HIV are unaware of their infection and also without proper treatment, HIV recently has able to become resistant to drugs that are geared towards treatment such as PREP/ Anti- HIV drugs.
