Question

Why do some people believe that the AIDS crisis is a result of promiscuity and that a cure is already available, yet others remain unaware or unconvinced?

Answer 1

Good question. To be :abstinent, or monogamous means restraint and self control and a lot of people don't want to exercise either. They're too selfish to think beyond their immediate desire to have what they want when they want it and don't care about the consequences of their actions. When you point this out, you're considered to be old-fashioned, judgemental, intolerant or a member of the religious right.

Answer 2

You cannot easily change human behavior, even despite deadly facts. people like to have recreational sex, unprotected too ( look at how many single unwed mothers there are ), so STDs go along with the territory. The innocents do pay a price unfortunately as emotion in the heat of passion often overtakes logic. The sudden rise in cases ( after years in the decline due to aggressive outreach programs) in the homosexual community where it's been a problem is due to the throwback of promiscuity, no condoms and crystal methamphetamine. Aids once again has taken a back seat to other items on the national agenda, you do not see many Ryans of the world dying of AIDS as of late due to other fear pandemics that are current hyped up by biologists / scientists. I am sure there are cases as such, but thy are not getting the media attention, and media attention is what motivates other for action. As for ther cure, I doubt they will find a cure, they have not for Herpes and there are more users infected with that than AIDS ( except Africa and India ), so I doubt AIDS will be cured in my lifetime.

Answer 3

I don't think that anyone is deluding themselves about it, I just think that people don't want to think that they can catch it. People aren't perfect, and we succumb to sin. Aids is going to be around for a long time because of many factors, not just because of promiscuity.

Answer 4

there is no cure. a virus cannot be cured. its impossible. there is a vaccine, which in no way helps the people who already have AIDS.

Answer 5

This seems like a rhetorical question, or like you're venting....

Answer 6

do you feel better? it is not proven that "promiscuity" is what is causing AIDS TO SPREAD. what are your sources?

Answer 7

is mankind just too selfish to practice some self-control? a little self control in this department could literally save lives- both emotionally and physically. . Take the upper hand and take control of your life and your desires!

Answer 8

because many people are controled by their urges and can't control them selves. people are selficsh and think only of instant gratification.

Answer 9

Drug addicts do not have the ability to abstain from their behavior. They are ADDICTED> They need to get high or they will be sick. They shoot up in alleys with others and then pass their disease to their mates, who pass it again and again through many types of interactions. You can't judge people like you are doing. Children are born with this disease, people are transfused with tainted blood with many dieases . YOU may oneday lose a loved one to it to! I have! We are educating the young and the old, the sick and the healthy. It is working. It will continue to work. We will continue to lose loved ones to this and many other blood transferred disease. Just love the ones you love and pray for their futures. Teach the children, abstain from drug useage. Pray for those who are afflicted. SORRY, BUT THESE ARE MY FEELINGS ON THE MATTER.
