The Country Where HIV Conspiracy Theories Still Thrive

The human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, is a very dangerous virus that attacks cells responsible in helping the body fight infection. With these cells compromised, the person’s body then becomes vulnerable to other diseases. Unfortunately, as of the moment, there are no cures for HIV, so once you have it, you have it for the rest of your life. However, there are HIV medicines which help in suppressing the virus. Across the world, much progress has been seen in preventing the spread of the virus. But this trend is not the case in Russia, where HIV denialism thrives.

Experts say HIV conspiracy theories — a thing of the past in many other countries — continue to thrive in Russia and significantly hinder efforts to combat the virus.

too bad gay men refused to wear condoms and maybe keep the weekly partners to under 15 strangers for just a little while instead of infecting millions including women the used as beards and male prostitute drug users
if only the gays could have had an ounce of humanity and not fuck 15 dudes a week and wear a rubber but i guess they just didn't care and now we've wasted billions on a 100% preventable disease while we still have childhood cancer, diabetes and hundreds of other health issues that never got funding because elton john and the hollywood elite virtue signalled and caused millions more to die because gays just wouldn't wear a bag or screw a dozen guys in the alley behind the club....gross
