HIV In The News

October 7, 2009 No Comments

Mack // There has been a lot of media lately publishing articles about a potential new HIV vaccine. This is a wonderful progression in fighting the virus.

After 25 years the virus and the way it affects peoples lives has changed a lot; it not longer condemns people to death, it is no longer a “gay disease”, and plenty of people with it go on to live happy sexual lives without infecting their partners.

However, there are still plenty of misconceptions that lead to stigma, discrimination, and general ignorance about how people with HIV are affected.

Sexual Health has published an article addressing some of these misconceptions which will hopefully help to inform people and educate them. Click here to read this article.
