Document Summary

You wont get aids if you only have sex with one faithful partner. It started with the gays, now us too- separation. Condoms as the only way to prevent, this doesnt work for all sexual activity. Gay community referred to as the grim reaper, ostracizing. Assuming that condom use can be used in all sexual relationships doesn"t take into account gender. If we take it out of context it is challenging. Women try to get their partners to use condoms, men often don"t want to. It ignores that drugs arent the problem, there is trauma or other reasons. Indigenous people are 2. 5x more likely to contract hiv trans people are 49x more likely to get hiv. If youre living poverty you are more likely to contract, not able to get medication and preventative measures. Sexual and gender based violence plays a part in this.
