Lots of needle users and homosexuals who are active I would think.

Because it wasn't treated like every other cumminicable disease and the people with it taken out of the general population in order to get a handle on it?

Well, I for one know how to prevent the spread of HIV...either no sex or use protection...tada! Simple enough...
Making the government a scapegoat because you picked up a disease from having unprotected sex...is well, stupid.

What would it take to lower the infection rate?Isolation of infected individuals from the rest of society.

Why the U.S. Has Not Stemmed HIV 2 reasons:
1) As soon as someone says "You shouldn't..." to a gay man, the charge of HOMOPHOBIA!! comes screeching out.
2) Drug addiction is a disease, we can expect these poor addicts to be responsible for either safe practices or heaven forbid (as in the above case) abstaining from their risky behavior, that might hurt their self esteem.

How to stop AIDS in three easy steps:
1. Chastity before marriage.
2. Absolute monogamy within marriage.
3. Don't use drugs.
There, problem solved.
What's that? Those things are "too hard to do"? Oh, well...

How about behavior modification? Would that work?

Plus, unlike other sexually transmitted diseases, it gets a pass due to PC

AIDS is 99.9% preventable/avoidable. And AIDS is not spread by insufficient funding.

The problem with the latest HIV drugs is that it keeps a contagious host of the virus alive. That's a good thing if it's someone who was accidentally infected (doctor, nurse, etc.) and who won't be spreading it around to others. It's a bad thing if it's being used to keep people alive who are careless and/or are intentionally spreading it.

From the article: What would it take to lower the infection rate?

Gee, how about people not CHOOSING to have perverted sexual relations or not CHOOSING to inject illegal drugs? Wouldn't cost a dime. It's called "personal responsibility", a term foreign to the liberal vocabulary.

The Post tries to blame the government(and lack of funding no doubt) for failing to stop homosexuals from barebacking.
Shocking! You're time is almost up propagandists.
