Take a deep breath and at least acknowledge that a tremendous amount of public information has been provided to educate people (at least in the US) on how to prevent the spread of AIDS since 1985. Since reliable methods for testing and screening the blood supply were developed (at least in the US), the cases of transmission through blood donation or organ transplants or kidney dialysis have also been dramatically reduced in the past 10 or so years.

All I'm saying is that the rise in the number of new cases in the US cannot be due to lack of knowledge. The fact is this virus is largely preventable IF folks don't put themselves (and therefore unborn children) at risk.

People with Parkinson's were not given the choice to weigh their risks as they didn't even know they were at risk for this disease. That is the point!!! We don't have enough %$+))) information on what causes this disease or how to prevent it. Yet we know scads about what causes AIDs and people still put themselves at risk.

Get your high horse off my throat, please!!!
