TRUE OR FALSE ? AIDS/HIV SPREADS FASTEST AMONG SOLDIERS, THE MILITARY AND PARA-MILITARY- FIND REASONS ON THIS BLOG
Nobody would ever want to accept that the first Acquired Immuno Deficiency Statistic was recorded in his Localty , County, District or Country. It started somewhere and everyone has heard stories like it began with those who ate Monkey Brains and it began with Homosexuals or that it began in a Laboratory.
December 1st of each year has been set aside for a serious look at this Heamatological Disease that plagues all Races. Prevention has proven to be cheaper in managing the spread . Millions have been spent buying ,and distributing free Condoms and Cock-tails.
Poverty and AIDS are birds of a feather. With all the talk of the Disease, why has its rate of spread not shown signs of going down? Why are there new cases of the Disease despite all on-going NGO effort ?
THE HARD ANSWER IS VIOLENCE. New HIV Cases should be expected to arise in AREAS of the world prone to Violence. Violence is the actual social catalyst that helps the spread of AIDS. With Violence comes so many things unpredictable among which are human response Demographically and Behaviourally.
There are certain things that would prove quite bizarre to point out - What is the HIV Statistics in places that have been through war or conflict in the most recent century ? Why ? Why is the rate of HIV Spread highest in places with very low average income ? Why is the rate of HIV spread highest in places that have been ravaged by War ? What can be done to assist deployed Soldiers to those areas ?
Violence in most cases is started by greed and ignorance. An escalation of it in uncontrollable proportion is the bed-rock of Wars that have been fought in yester-years. War-torn places need Soldiers to either curb or prevent Violence in such places. There is a truth that has to be faced squarely, with great power, comes great responsibility. Very many get the power part. As soon as that power is had, forget to add a vital sense of Responsibilty to it.
The Human Immuno Deficiency Virus is hosted in the human blood, Vaginal fluid and Semen. Two out of the three mentioned hosts of the Virus get encountered during Coitus- an act that makes up about 45 percent of human activity on a global scale. Visit the Delivery Section of any hospital for living creations from this very act. In this century alone this very act of Conjugation has been productive in the Reproductive sense about one billion times.
Statistically, Coitus results in an Embryo getting formed one in every Ninth process of THIS ACT. All in cases of unprotected versions of it with many Mothers knowing of their HIV positive status for the first time during Ante-Natal Care . This scenario is a usual presentation in Peaceful places of the world.
It is however not the case in Conflict-prone places. RAPE is a fact of War. Rape is a declaration of War. Rape is not an extension of an Olive Branch. HIV new cases have been documented after Rape. Africa has had its own fair share of Wars after World War II . While no one has been able to consider worthy the HIV status of females in War-Torn places, Soldiers cannot be ignored and usually have to get screened when they get back to their home bases. Many of them turn -up HIV positive. How did these Men acquire the Virus ? Did they participate in Rape where they were deployed ? Or was it transmitted because they were Gay ?
There is something peculiar with Rape, it is an invasion of a woman-s body without consent. Even that consent is absent in the event of Date-Raping a female. The use of force is hardly ever complete without the use of Violence. Something that plagues war-torn places. Sadly, how do most Soldiers who turn -up positive to the Virus get that way ? Randomly ? Or ,by just coincidence ? I try hard telling myself that the Medical profession is the only one on the planet with broken Oaths of Ethics.
It is the Saddest thing to discover that some Soldiers take Violence as the only demonstration of ability and strength. Or that the absence of it is an absence of Prowress or Masculinity. It is very Sad to realise that many a Soldier has no regard for the female flesh. The Violence perpetrated in Wars are carried out by Men, why do females have to endure Rape ? Paying for the Sins of their Country Men ?
Coitus between two HIV positive people is not something a Doctor would advise. Can new Soldiers be assisted with Orientation before getting deployed to conflict-ridden places ? Rape defies logic and in the process a Condom is the last thing that a Rapist would think about thereby actually shooting himself in the leg whenever he does it.
