This piece is about the monumental efforts Sydney, Australia took to start controlling HIV in an area with historically, high HIV transmissions. It's a good article & shows HIV can be combated without a vaccine. Not saying a vaccine wouldn't be helpful, but this was done with a community based & targeted approach. They focused on prevention, awareness, testing & treatment. By doing so, in a decade they lowered this area of Sydney's transmission rates by over 80%.
This is a good read. It shows things can be handled. The main thing it takes is willing to access the situation & act accordingly. I'm glad I found this article.
Take care.
