Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is cause by HIV.<br /><br />I contracted HIV from my partner in a monogamous relationship. <br /><br />Even though I'm healthier than ever before and in better physical condition, I would wish this virus on no-one. The pleasure of unprotected sex (even in a relationship) is a small sacrifice to make to keep yourself negative.<br /><br />For those that are infected, it is also important for your own sanity to know that the virus is very manageable in this day and age with the help of proper nutrition, exercise and if the need arises, antiretroviral drugs..

document.write("Yes I think we are doing enough of the wrong things.<br />For any guy, condoms don’t provide the best sexual experience and satisfaction. We constantly push the issue of using condoms which in turn promotes promiscuity. How about encouraging people to get married so that they can have a real sexual experience without the fear of HIV?. We need to give incentives that encourage people to get married so that they can have healthy sexual experiences. We need to encourage being faithful to one partner.<br />It is clear that we are loosing the battle by preaching the condom gospel and as such we need to come up with new ideas like the one that I proposed above.<br />Thanks<br />.
