The reason I was making the correlation about nutrition and AIDS is because the previous poster said that one of the reasons people in Africa get AIDS is because they have poor nutrition, I was trying to point out that many people here also have poor nutrition ,because of social condtions and lifestyle choices.
I agree that the spread of AIDS should not be hard to prevent with massive efforts aimed at education, but with the right wing conservative christians highjacking of the government we are moving away from teaching prevention to teaching only abstinance. I think this could be seriously detrimental because alot of people blow off abstinance, and then they don't have the knowledge that they need to protect themselves from harm.
For some reason the link to the actual page is broken, this is the site, click on HIV data at the top, then on the left side of the next page click on UNAIDS/WHO AIDS epidemic update 2005. From here you can either look at the whole report, which is long, or scroll down to almost the bottom to North America, Western and Central Europe. I am sorry for the problem.
Here is a link
