HIV infection is dropping in the largely Christian South and East of Africa.

In mostly Muslim places like Egypt, Washington and Detroit, AIDS continues to infect everyone.

Coincidence? I think not.

This thread needs some pie charts.

Muslims:
Who's got AIDS? We've got AIDS! How much AIDS? All the AIDS!


Christians:
Even though we're outside of the Garden of Eden -

AIDS is not leaving. It's with us forever.

If you had to be honest, like really no other choice, just honesty, what's your issue with Muslims?

"Contrastingly, HIV infections have increased in 50 countries worldwide, mostly in Eastern Europe and Central Asia"

I didn't see Muslim in the article so maybe I missed it. When I think of Muslim countries I don't think of Eastern Europe or Central Asia.

The real growth spot I hear about is Central America.

The biggest problens are in Russia and south and eastern Africa.

Is there a key for the colours, or maybe a link? Or, is that just a random map you posted and has noting to do with the topic at hand?

Good job, Western Sahara, Greenland, Antarctica and Solomon Islands it seems.

Voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) and sexual reproductive health services for men have also helped the country achieve targets in cutting new infections in priority regions such as Nyanza in Western Kenya.

http://www.who.int/hiv/topics/malecircumcision/en/
There is compelling evidence that male circumcision reduces the risk of heterosexually acquired HIV infection in men by approximately 60%. Three randomized controlled trials have shown that male circumcision provided by well trained health professionals in properly equipped settings is safe. WHO/UNAIDS recommendations emphasize that male circumcision should be considered an efficacious intervention for HIV prevention in countries and regions with heterosexual epidemics, high HIV and low male circumcision prevalence.

Male circumcision provides only partial protection, and therefore should be only one element of a comprehensive HIV prevention package which includes: the provision of HIV testing and counseling services; treatment for sexually transmitted infections; the promotion of safer sex practices; the provision of male and female condoms and promotion of their correct and consistent use.

Why?
http://www.who.int/hiv/pub/malecircumci ... pter_1.pdf

1.1.3. Biological explanations for the protective effect of male circumcision
The mechanisms through which male circumcision reduces the risk of HIV transmission have been widely studied (15),
resulting in the following findings:
The primary target cells through which HIV enters the body are immune system target cells with CD4 receptors, including
Langerhans cells. These cells are present in high density in the epithelium of the inner foreskin and are close to the surface
(16–22).
In an in vitro study, HIV uptake by cells from the mucosal surface of the foreskin was seven times more efficient than
uptake by cells from tissue of the female cervix (23).
The highly vascularized foreskin mucosa and the mucosa at the frenulum are prone to tearing and bleeding during
intercourse. These microinjuries allow easy entry of HIV into the bloodstream (22).
A factor that further facilitates transmission of the virus is the presence of an ulcerative sexually transmitted infection—
such as herpes simplex, chancroid or syphilis—which tends to be more common in uncircumcised men (22, 24, 25, 28–30).

Probably, long story short, don't tear the banjo chord.
Oh and good job WHO for using shutterstock of 4 random black guys smiling to promote this.

You're welcome to examine the source- I wasn't trying to hide anything:

It's pretty consistent. Russia has had a huge problem with HIV for a long time now, for example.



Over 1 in every 100 in some regions.

According to experts, the total number of individuals with HIV (including those who are undiagnosed) was estimated in 2016 to be between 0.85 and 1.5 million[1] (the lower estimate is from the Ministry of Healthcare of the Russian Federation). Prevalence of HIV in adult people is between 0.8 and 1%.[2] According to the UN, Russia has one of the fastest growing HIV/AIDS epidemics in the world.[3] Approximately 95,000 Russians were diagnosed with HIV in 2015, and approximately 75,000 in the first nine months of 2016.[3] Stigma surrounding the disease, and government indifference have contributed to the crisis.[4] As of 2016 the HIV/AIDS epidemic, despite successes with intravenous drug users, was poised to move into the general population of sexually active young people.[5]

I understand your scepticism, but the problem is very real, and frankly horrifying.

perhaps when they actually do, together as one being, they will stop the spread of AIDS.

I gave hooch AIDS but he didn't like it so he exchanged it for something else. Lucky I included a gift receipt.

I'm gonna take an unpopular stance here.

I'm on the side of AIDS. I hope AIDS wins the war.

f*ck you, humanity.

They have come a long way on figuring out ways of fixing it. It is expensive for now but, HIV is treatable and eventually they will either cure AIDS or inoculate for it.

They inoculate teenagers for HPV here. https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/ ... swers.html

If someone comes up with a functioning vaccine to prevent HIV or AIDS it will be made available too.

Syphilis can kill people too but it is much less likely now. There will be something new to replace AIDS eventually. Disease is a constantly evolving process.
