Sexual Behavior Since the AIDS Epidemic

Phenomena such as HIV or microscopic virus called Human Immunodeficiency Virus that appeared nearly 30 years ago rarely alter sexual behavior dramatically. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HIV is a virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome or AIDS (CDC, 2013). AIDS is often inappropriate in combating organisms that cause diseases because it affects the body's immune system since HIV infection and is a series of diseases and symptoms that cause symptoms It is an illness that leads to symptoms. A sign

AIDS is not just medical and biological issues. Worldwide, in 2003, about 3 million people died from the epidemic of AIDS, about 5 million people were infected with HIV, of which 700 thousand were children. The current epidemic can not be changed unless the affected people and those at risk are doing cooperative efforts to take precautionary measures. Certain actions such as unprotected sexual intercourse and sharing of hypodermic needles, in addition to unintended infection styles such as vertical infection between mothers and children and accidental needlestick injuries by health care workers, individuals to HIV and AIDS I will expose it. Risk increases. Therefore, this disease can be avoided by individual behavior, in other words by voluntary selection. Therefore, suppressing the epidemic of AIDS depends on changes in behavior and lifestyle to break the chain of infection.

Modern epidemics of AIDS from biological and sociological point of view: virology, epidemiology, immune system, medical condition, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, public health problems, sexual behavior, scientific reaction, and other historical epidemics The characteristics of comparative course of disease: the main determinant of cancer health differentials, including ethnic differences in biology and cancer prevention and treatment. Strategy to overcome these differences through research, health education, outreach, advocacy, and policy change.

Since the early 1980s, AIDS support and service organizations have consistently claimed that infected people and non-infected people share responsibilities to respond to the epidemic. Specifically, when AIDS risks occur, it involves two people who need to ponder their sexual history and ask if they should use condoms. This action gives unique universal participation motivation to HIV prevention rather than typical selective elimination of epidemic diseases. However, the concern between European society and people living with HIV is now constrained by major changes in the background and influence of AIDS epidemics.
