As many as 70 percent of people infected with HIV in the United States do not have the virus under control, boosting the risk of transmission, according to a study Tuesday.

...

“Treatment is crucial. It is one of our most important strategies for stopping new HIV infections.”

Among 840,000 people who did not have the virus under control, 66 percent had been diagnosed but were not getting regular care, while 20 percent did not know they were infected.

The study said four percent of those infected were getting care but were not prescribed anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs).

Finally, 10 percent were receiving treatment, but nevertheless did not have the infection in check.

Don’t people help HIV adapt to the treatments? Such as transmitting it while you are on medication? We really have a lot of messed up in USA

it’s clear they don’t want to treat their hiv.

many want to spread it and many want to get infected.

sodomy’s badge of honor and authenticity.

If it were not for the innocent women and children and people who get transfusions that get HIV from these perverts, I really wouldn’t give a crap.

Exactly correct.

I lived in SF, and knew a homo guy who laid it out straight:

“If you have HIV, it’s sort of like you’re on this dramatic stage where a lot of attention is on you, and if you don’t, you feel sort of shunted aside and ignored..”

Sick, but true.

A lot of guys WANT to get it — “bug chasing”

Many of those who do have “treatment” in ARV’s often are careless about following the regimen precisely, allowing the virus to mutate, making it harder to treat.

Only homos can continually create ever new diseases for themselves.

The essence of this article: Hardly anybody with HIV is being treated.

Occam explains: Since HIV doesn’t cause AIDS why waste time and money on treating it. The gay and drug using communities (yes, there is a big overlap there) have finally wised up to that fact.

Do not doubt what you claim. But, just where do you come by this info?

The MSM is sure not doing a study on it............

Would like to pass it on, but know I will be challenged for where the stat came from.

In 1985 they were saying 70% of the world would die of aids in 10 years. How is that going?

“Treatment is crucial. It is one of our most important strategies for stopping new HIV infections.”

Isolation of those whose sexual practices expose others to this disease is crucial.

This is the most effective strategy and works every time.
