Though I read most of your posts I'm going to repeat what lots of you said already...just sheer ignorance. As odd and weird as it sounds its dead true. I just read a article on the bbc that said that lots of chinese people are getting aids through shared needles. Without any sort of formal education simple things like understand aids isn't actually so simple. Not only that but the man thought that just eating with his kids would give them the disease.
I also know that in Africa some feel that its really a conspiracy of sorts. They say that condoms actually give you the disease etc. Its really the lack of education. Sad but true. While it may seem obvious to us its not so obvious for everyone. To quote Men in Black which is not really appropriate, but still "1500 years ago, everybody "knew" that the earth was the center of the universe. 500 years ago, everybody "knew" that the earth was flat. And 15 minutes ago, you "knew" that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll "know" tomorrow."
That just points to our ignorance at times.
