An AIDS diagnosis does not necessarily equate to a death sentence. Many people can still benefit from starting antiretroviral therapy even once they have developed an AIDS defining illness. Better treatment and prevention for opportunistic infections have also helped to improve the quality and length of life for those diagnosed with AIDS.

An HIV/AIDS epidemic is defined by the HIV prevalence in the general population. HIV prevalence is the percentage of the population living with HIV. There is either a generalized or concentrated epidemic. In a generalized epidemic, HIV prevalence is 1% or more in the general population. In a concentrated or low level epidemics, HIV prevalence is below 1% in the general population but exceeds 5% in specific at-risk populations like injecting drug users or s*x workers, or HIV prevalence is not recorded at a significant level in any group).1 In order to understand the HIV and AIDS epidemic, it is necessary to look at certain figures. Researchers and epidemiologists usually compile the number of people living with HIV (the HIV prevalence), the number of new infections (the HIV incidence), and the number of people who have died of AIDS among other categories.

Safer s*x involves taking measures to prevent the transmission of STIs during s*xual contact. Common methods of safer s*x are using a condom for vaginal and a**l pe*******on (s*xual in*******se), and using dental dams for oral s*x. Using such protection prevents bodily fluids that carry STIs like HIV from being exchanged during s*x. Although condoms and dental dams are not 100% safe, if used properly, they have been proven to be highly effective ways of preventing the transmission of STI.

Many people are now aware of the dangers of HIV, and yet each year millions of people become infected with the virus. It is therefore vital that HIV and AIDS education goes beyond simply providing information and that it is supported by other prevention efforts such as providing condoms and clean injecting equipment, and making testing facilities available and accessible. In order to ensure that people are willing and able to turn the knowledge they gain from HIV and AIDS education into action, they need more than basic scientific facts. HIV and AIDS education needs to motivate people by making them aware that what they are learning is relevant to their lives. Empowerment is also crucial, as people must be in a position where they are able to take control of their s*xual behavior methods of drug use.
