HIV prevention efforts have not always been successful and in 2009 approximately 54,000 Americans were infected with HIV, that is about one every nine-and-a-half minutes.And some young have to choose some std dating si te such as MyPositiveSingles,C0M.So It is a hard task to prevent it.
I hope the book plays a pivotal role in some bloody ignorant men out there because some men like having sex without condoms while having wives. Report Abuse

I hope this book will serve as a wake up call to some fellows. It's true a large number of men still beleive they are immune to HIV and AIDs, especially the ones not directly affected by it. They still go around boasting about how they are God's gift to women! My heart really goes out to the married women (the wives) since they are at higher risk because some of these men are married (husbands). Some have yatsis and do not even use condoms! The sad thing with us men, we do not warn each other, instead we sing praises to such men and " Uyababa, you are the real man! uyisoka uyisikhokho" etc. ....It's just too sad Report Abuse

To all men out there who still think that HIV/Aids is a woman disease thing, get the book and read the facts about the pandemic. Stop this thing of spreading the disease with the concept "I won't die alone" nxa mos o ne o feba alone so why can't you die alone o batla bakhapi nxa banna mara ***shaking head***.

Hai, Sowetan bloggers never cease to amaze me. This is a real issue that affects us all and that needs a serious debate from male and female, but the comments are standing @ 15. If it was something that has to do with S*x, eg positions, fellatio, cunnilingus etc, the comments would be 1000+ now. '

The problem that feeds this desease is the way by which it is being contacted, sex and everybody like sex. I think, its even better with women maybe they can control the sex edge more better than men, its a very difficult task for men to control that edge especially in the face of these pornographic films, books, that pops up every where. So many organisations like Bothers for life must be promoted to educate men about self pride and respect for women. Report Abuse
