If they have it or suspect they have it, they are probably fearful of the potential fate headed their way. They fail to realize, however, that by educating themselves on what they might or does, or someone else they care for may or does, in fact have, theyl can prevent or at least slow down the progression of the disease to AIDS. Yes, you read that right! HIV doesn't have to progress to AIDS! But WITH PROPER TREATMENT... which usually consists of 25-30 pills a day...
