In Australia there are around 28,000 people living with HIV,In the UK it's just under 100,000.Over a 1,000 people are diagnosed with HIV in Australia every year and the numbers are rising and the reason for this is that ARV's are keeping people alive and healthy and because HIV is not a death sentence anymore people have become more complacent,especially young people.I remember an interview where a teenager said,"I don't really care if I contract HIV,"I'll just take a whole bunch of pills and I'll be fine"HIV is no picnic and there should be more awareness and education on modes of transmission.
