Pacific Islanders population

How did HIV/AIDS move into the Asian/Pacific Islanders population?
I just saw a commercial saying that 1 in every 3 Asians don't know they have HIV I remember them making a big deal about black people having it, so I know how people get HIV, but how did it turn to asians? I tried to word this as nicely as I could so people could understand that I'm not being mean.

Asian people just like any other people contract HIV/AIDS by coming in contact with an HIV infected persons blood or other bodily fluids.

Some magical leprechauns gave the Asians and Pacific Islanders pots of gold out of the goodness of their hearts, but alas because of the greed of humans, the Asians and Pacific Islanders took the gold without so much as a thank you. So angry were the Leprechauns that they cursed the lands with the AIDS virus for all eternity.
4 :
Sex Tourism. Nobody ever wants to admit this, but the main reason why AIDS spread throughout the world is because of sex tourists and closeted perverts. People from wealthy nations like the United States and Western European countries travel to 3rd world countries for sex with the locals for cheap prices, and they rarely use protection because they don't care if they get the girls pregnant. So as they're going from country to country hitting it raw, they spread the disease. These same prostitutes sleep with local men as well, who infect their wives and girlfriends, and the cycle continues. In fact, if you look in Africa, the regions most affected by AIDS are all along major trade routes and transportation thoroughfares. How else can you explain how HIV made the quantum leap from impoverished nations in Africa to the most expensive (and most gay) city in the United States, San Francisco? Its because of people and their secret sexual practises. AIDS as an illness originated in Africa, but it was Westerners who spread the disease across the globe and infected millions of people worldwide.
5 :
What? You are just lying so the heat ifs off Blacks. You don't know anything. Asians are too superior for AIDS. In fact, China kills AIDS people and bans people with AIDS from living and entering the country.
6 :
There's a very simple answer...Asian prostitutes. All kinds of HIV infected men from all over the world come to Asia via the military, for business, or for vacation. Some HIV infected foreign men found some cheap, easy lays, and soon after HIV became prevalent all throughout Asia.
7 :
The only people who wont have high rates of HIV... are the arabs in saudi arabia because they control their women's sexuality. Everything they do is retarded and genius at the same time. They will be the last man standing at the end.

How come people don't realize that Illnesses such as cancer and HIV/AIDS isn't from human evil

How come people don't realize that Illnesses such as cancer and HIV/AIDS isn't from human evil?
All the evil in the world couldn't create either of these. So, what is the point of saying suffering in this world came from humans when it actually came from God-invented things?

ur right and it doesnt come from sex either...so where does Aids come from? talk to the scientists in China about it.
2 :
I believe if I think evil thoughts while looking at this slice of cheese, it will ultimately go bad. Maybe in a few days. Prove me wrong.
3 :
god doesn't exist, so it didn't come from god invented things. Theses diseases are the result of billions of years of natural selection.
4 :
wrong god invented as you say mankind abused it
5 :
technically, they are in humans and are evil...
6 :
Yes it is becasue if it wasn't from human evil we would still be living in the garden and none of that would exist, not even death would exist.
7 :
Your philosophy to blame God for everything you do not understand is very limited by our own understanding. In other words it is non existent to higher understandings therefore not logical.
8 :
Agreed -- but both are encouraged by human evil. AIDS has principally been a sexually transmitted disease -- and wouldn't ever likely have survived if humans we're not sinful in their sexual practices. Cancer is promoted many times by lifestyle are harmful -- especially smoking -- and if people treated their bodies (God's gift of bodies) better, cancer might be less frequent. Yes, God created all living things (and all non-living things) including the AIDS virus, and carcinogenic chemicals. He does not intend for us to misuse our bodies by promiscuity or by ingesting harmful chemicals.
9 :
Again! To the old "God is evil.." argument! Read the article "The problem with the problem of evil".

HIV is short for "human immunodeficiency virus." AIDS is caused by HIV. HIV damages a person's immune system which leaves them not being able to fight back any kind of a disease. HIV spreads through body fluids like semen and blood, when they pass from an infected person to a normal person. This virus is usually spread by sexual contact or by using the same drug needles as an HIV infected person.It can also get transferred from a mother to her baby during breast feeding. Some of the symptoms of HIV could be that the person losses her appetite, has fever, loses weight, experiences fatigue, faces chronic diarrhea, has a continuous dry cough, sweats at night etc. People who are suffering from HIV do suffer from infections of the skin, TB(tuberculosis), cancer etc. These infections do lead to the death of an AIDS victim.When HIV reaches a person's brain, then it impairs the speech of that person, results in forgetfulness and trembling. HIV and AIDS are connected with many physical and expressive problems. There are different signs and symptoms of HIV. Such as 1) Depression Everybody has had days where they were feeling a little "blue". We all have been "down in the dumps", when these thoughts last longer than a couple weeks you may be afflicting from hopelessness. 2. Weight Loss Common problem in HIV and AIDS is the loss of weight. Except you are actively trying to lose weight by exercising and studying what you eat, in HIV and AIDs weight loss is a serious trouble. 3) Thrush If the bad taste and white covering does not gone with a simple brushing then you may have the most common HIV opportunistic problems known as thrush. 4) Lip dystrophy People contaminated with HIV are living longer and more industrious lives. A large part of the reason is the beginning of drug combinations into typical HIV care. One such trouble is fat reorganization condition or lip dystrophy. 5) Lactic Acidosis This rising problem can make you sick, unhappy, and can even be deadly. 6) Nausea / Vomiting Vomiting is not only irritating and can make you feel unwell and pale, when connected with vomiting it can be hazardous and unsafe. 7) Diarrhea Diarrhea can be a life frightening problem if not treated properly and quickly. Fever and u will become weak day by day. Don't waste any time, quickly like now! to consult with your doctor, the sooner you find out the better to cured, before it too late. Best wishes, and God's on Heaven looking after you. For Tips of The Day, Pam

What is it? HIV is the acronym for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, a virus that attacks the body's immune system, leading to full-blown AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). AIDS is devastating because it leaves the body susceptible to life-threatening infections and certain kinds of cancers. How is it contracted? Through oral, anal, or vaginal sex, and from an HIV-positive mother to her baby. To prevent it, use a condom every time you have sex; find out the sexual history of any new partners, including their HIV status; and don't share needles if you do intravenous drugs. If you're pregnant and are HIV-positive, talk to your doctor about how to prevent passing the virus along to your child. Incubation Period: Some people develop symptoms shortly after being infected, but for many it takes more than ten years for symptoms to appear. Symptoms: Most symptoms of AIDS are not caused directly by HIV, but by an infection or other condition brought on by a weakened immune system. These include severe weight loss, fever, headache, night sweats, fatigue, severe diarrhea, shortness of breath, and difficulty swallowing. The symptoms tend to last for weeks or months at a time and do not go away without treatment. In some cases, infections result in death. Testing: A blood test can tell you if you have HIV. Anyone who is sexually active and unsure of the sexual history or HIV status of their partner(s) should be tested every year. Treatment: So far, there is no cure for AIDS, but some drug regimens that combine medications such as AZT (Retrovir) with ritonavir or norvir are proving effective at strengthening immunity and keeping infections at bay, thereby prolonging the lives of many AIDS sufferers. Combination drug therapy has benefited many people for years, but it is still unclear how long the drugs will remain effective, especially since effectiveness varies significantly from person to person. The drugs must also be taken in large quantities, usually on a daily basis, and there are many side effects. When drug treatment is stopped, new symptoms can arise, or old ones return. If you're pregnant and HIV-positive, taking AZT throughout the pregnancy and during delivery can reduce the chances that the virus will be transmitted to the baby. If you are not treated: HIV progresses more rapidly into full-blown AIDS without treatment, usually because of infections that develop as a result of the patient's weakened immune system.

I think most cures these days are discovered by teams in a lab, and not individuals. Of course, if someone did, individually, they would win the Nobel. I would say they would be worth about $350,000,000.
2 :
no one will know. the person will be kept a secert. kinda like the dude who created the car that ran on water
3 :
Well if I found one, I would release the details on YouTube, WikiLeaks, Yahoo!, and every medium I could think of, so that nobody else could claim the credit or make money from it. (The Nobel is worth enough for me to live comfortably for the rest of my life.) It's more important to end AIDS than to make money.
