This article reports research regarding teens & HIV. The study is disturbing & it pisses me off. After 30+ years of screaming about HIV & AIDS, up to 1/3 of these kids said they didn't realize HIV was a sexually transmitted disease.
I wish this was a joke. If this survey is accurate, then almost 90% of these kids didn't see themselves at risk for HIV. Of course not, if you don't think HIV is sexually transmitted.
I'm hoping there are errors in this research. If not, these kids a doomed, stupid, ill-informed & doomed. This article is seriously irritating & depressing. If these kids are this ignorant, then who's too blame? It sure isn't the AIDS activists of the 80's & 90's who've basically been told by the world, "Hush now, we've got this covered." Yeah, sure you do. Maybe it's time for ACT UP to make a return.
Cya...
