Most people living with HIV are unaware they are infected. Knowing your status is critical in preventing the spread of HIV. Without a cure, education and prevention are the most effective ways to stop the spread of HIV. Take the time to know the facts and share these facts with your loved ones. If we all take personal responsibility, the spread of HIV is preventable.
What does all this mean? There is no medicinal cure and there is no sign of a cure in the future so get educated and use condoms.
