HIV Prevention Needs To Improve To Stop The Spread

The news came out this past week in a report that the number of new HIV infections in New York City was triple that of the national average.

This means that the current HIV prevention methods in the city, as well as across the entire U.S., are not doing enough.

There are roughly 6 people in the U.S. infected with HIV every single hour.

HIV is the virus which is the cause of the AIDS pandemic, and can prove deadly.

The biggest issue with prevention methods thus far has to do with people who are infected with the AIDS virus infecting those who do not have HIV/AIDS.

A public health crisis is upon the U.S., as there needs to be a major improvement in how we combat the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

The recent spike in cases has been realized due to new obersvation tools being used by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

    But there already is a 100% effective prevention technique: stop doing the things that spread AIDS, like illegal drug use (sharing infected needles) and having extra-marital and homosexual sex.
