This article talks about how poverty & marginalization are fueling the HIV epidemic in Europe. The study covers things I've discussed before like being on the fringe. The primary drive for the epidemic was considered to be social exclusion. The more a person was removed from the social core, the more apt they were to have HIV & to infect others.
I've covered this before, a few times. To me, it's a no-brainer, but apparently some people are taking longer to get the message. The farther removed an individual is from the group, the less apt they are to conform to it's norms. People on the fringes are often subjected to things the mainstream never face; more discrimination, higher crime rates, higher rates of disease, less security, etc...
I've said it before, if HIV treatment isn't brought to everyone, then no one will ever be free of it.
Cya...
