People need to address the overwhelming and unsolvable problem of HIV now or we will face extinction as a species by the next few generations.
As someone who studied the problem, I can tell you how inadequately unprepared human being are to tackle the problem. We can barely face the problem. Most people are force to do so only because they are now affected by the disease, by then it is too late.
The social issues facing the disease are as diverse as the people that are affected by it. There is no or not enough studies to give an accurate theory or guest the bigger picture on how AIDS/HIV not only affects but actually shape the future of our society.
I advocate that a larger group of people start to study the disease not only in local but in a macro level setting that deals with the social practices with every conceivable demographics that mankind can possibly be group. The goal is to find patterns in the interactions of human sexuality including gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals or commonly known as the LGBT community. This group consist a large portion of the society that is affected by the HIV/AIDS virus. Is it the norm? The exception? Or mere coincidence?
Education through vast and accurate studies will help give a clearer picture on not only how to combat the disease medical wise, but how to interact with individuals who are associated, true or otherwise, with this disease.
The public’s knowledge about the disease are gender-base, and although medically accurate, is affected by social bias and gender groupings. This has become a social norm simply because it is not being address by mainstream research.
Accurate policies and intervention strategies can never be effective without further grand research of not only the medical side but the social impact of the disease itself.
