What's HIV's status in the world?? and do you think it's decreasing or increasing??

It's still prominant in third-world countries, especially Zimbabwe and South Africa, where nearly 25% of their population have it! It's definitely increasing!!  Luckily, more people are being educated about HIV prevention with the use of condoms, etc.

Look up the name of Dr. Peter Duesberg. He's the as$hat who's pushing the movement here in the US.\n\nAlso, there are plenty of the HIV tin-foil hat people here on Yahoo!. Just look for "Does HIV cause AIDS?" and I'm sure you'll find them.\n\nADDENDUM: watch me totally pwnz an anti-HIV conspiracy theorist here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aku4IXG8IY3tKDdBW5Nfhhrsy6IX?qid=1006041703857\n\nFeel from to totally slaughter his ideas while you're in there.

Africa has been devastated by AIDS. Thailand has a 40% infection, the Caribbean Islands are awash in AIDS, especially Haiti. You will find the nations with the least financial ability to be the highest in AIDS and STDS...cannot afford meds or protections...even education seems to be an overwhelming problem in these countries.

My answer was inacurate, the two answers following however quoted an excellent article. To save others the effort I will put the link in here. This article does an excellent job explaining the origions of HIV and the few places I have checked to verify the information contained in the article have checked out.

hard to say. will probably be awhile. the virus is very difficult to treat because it constantly mutates, so as soon as we develop a vaccine the virus has already mutated so it is ineffective. i think there is probably quit a bit of research going into it. its becoming more of a chronic disease, its not that unusual for people to live more than 20 years after being infected anymore (in the US anyway, africa is a different story)

20 years ago yes it was true.. but today there has been such a large amount of information presented to the homosexual group because of HIV that they for the most part are at the lower end of STD transmition.. the forfront of the STD transmition is now the teenagers who want to experiment...

A little less work searching is to go to the CDC.gov. This url will get to the Hiv/Aids info.

If people learn about how HIV spreads, it could help stop HIV. Some places will not use US medicines for viruses, so while if we can get rite of HIV in one area, if it's still around, it will come back.

What exactly is your question, whether there are any?  there are people infected with HIV/AIDS everywhere

United States: The CDC estimates that in 1999 between 800,000 and 900,000 people were living with HIV or AIDS. Through December 2000, a total of 774,467 cases of AIDS had been reported to the CDC.\n\nWorldwide: Based on estimates from the United Nations AIDS program (UNAIDS), approximately 60 million people have been infected with HIV since the start of the global epidemic. At the end of 2001, an estimated 40 million people were living with HIV infection or AIDS.\n\nUNAIDS estimates 5.0 million new HIV infections occurred in 2001. This represents about 14,000 new cases per day. An estimated 3.0 million adults and children died of HIV/AIDS in 2001.

No! Where have you been for the past 25 years? HIV is a virus; you cannot cure a virus. There are treatments that can prolong your life if you are infected, but they don't always work for everyone. If you become infected, it is very unlikely that you will live out your normal lifespan, even if you have the drugs. And the drugs are too expensive for most people in the poorest countries where they have the highest rates of infection. There is no "cure" for AIDS!!!

HIV used to be a death sentance. But treatment is much improved.\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/content/article/5/1680_50172.htm
