All areas of the world are likely to show an increase in HIV/AIDS. There will be a higher increase in HIV/AIDS in developing countries that have lower education on HIV/AIDS and in countries that have more higher risk groups for HIV/AIDS. Countries that have more prostitutes and lower condom use will see a significant increase compared to other countries. My prediction is that in about 10 years time the Philippines is going to make headline news, due to an explosion of HIV/AIDS, like Thailand did a few years back. This will be due to their ignorance about HIV transmission, large number of working prostitutes, and low condom use.

Well the United States is already showing some increase, partly I believe due to the next generation and their desensitization of HIV. If I had a dollar for every time I heard "Well Magic got it and he's still alive. I'll just take pills for it and it's fine". Outside the United States it is the areas that have the highest rates of poverty. Condom use and prostitution are not just isolated things to fix. If a person doesn't have anything to eat and they need to sell their body to obtain money and the person is willing to pay more to not use a condom, the person is clearly going to not use a condom. There are two important things to remember when talking about safer sex. (1) Are all the person's basic necessities met? I can talk to someone about the importance of condoms but if they're starving my education means crap to them. I sometimes ask people if they've ever not eaten for a day and how their mood and behavior changes. We can't spend our resources on just isolated education without understanding the larger dynamic. The other important factor is (2) an individuals self worth. If I don't care anything about myself why would I use a condom? What would be the point? If we help the economic disaster some of these countries are in and give people productive activity that earns them income, then we can raise a person's self worth.

The United States of America. The encouragement to all from the youngest to the eldest of the citizenry is to be or become “sexy” and to become and enjoy being sexually active. There is now a plethora of drugs and apparatuses to enable sexual activity and to increase the enjoyment to the participants. Instead of promoting exercise to hopefully better one’s health, exercise is used to encourage shaping the body so that the individual can look and feel “sexy”. Although everyone that’s sexually active is being warned and encouraged to use prophylactics, male and female, they don’t. They are warned and encouraged to get regularly tested for the HIV and other STDs…they don’t. Because the money to be made is in the selling of the drugs that enable some to not succumb as quickly to the HIV, too many are being duped into believing that “living with the HIV/AIDS” is the solution rather than continuing to focus on finding a cure.
