I don't know why the blog mater is not interested in posting some more relative information. I request the blog mater to add some more content to this great blog. I shall link from my blogs to this blog soon. Regarding all about HIV, HIV virus, HIV infection, HIV medicine, Holistic HIV treatment and complete cure of HIV. I was simply wondering why we can’t find some thing useful in this direction. Since HIV and its treatment is an important issue or information we need more specific information on this subject. I have found a nice informative guide on HIV from following URL http://www.hiv-info.org This guide deals with How to Cure HIV Through herbal medicines and Holistic Treatment. HIV will be destroyed and soon the body will start to gain weight. All symptoms will be subsided and CD4 count will be back to the normal. All opportunistic diseases will be cursed as well. You can verify the guide by downloading that for free. For this site. I dreamt of a HIV free world after reading this guide. Hope that you will add more free information to the comment boxes to let other people read about these interesting subjects.

I am always amazed at how little the general public knows about this disease, both the basics and how the trends have changed over the last few decades. Of course, cultural issues such as stigma, denial, and fear of the disease for a variety of reasons. The church plays a very important role in the lives of the community, probably more so in rural areas, so preventive strategies which leverage the strong influence of the church makes sense. I have written a book, "Is there a balm in Black America?" (www.lulu.com/707904) which blends spirituality and basic information to both educate and empower faith leaders to get more involved in eliminating this epidemic in the community. Hopefully, this and other intensified and focused strategies and more money focused on primary prevention can turn the tide around.

In Africa "washing" body parts at night might mean a two mile walk to the local stream to get water. Alas, if it were that easy.

In countries throughout the world men and women continue to get and to spread HIV infections because people desparate for love, sex, self-esteem, and drugs, whatever their gender and nationalities, are unable to stymie their pursuits of these goals by taking disenchanting steps before sexual intercourse is engaged in. What's needed are techniques that reduce the risks of STDs and HIV infections AFTER sexual intercourse. The oldest technique for preventing genital and anal infections in general and STDS in particular is washing involved body parts AFTER sex. Bidets were invented to keep prostitutes in Roman-Era brothels from getting sexually transmitted infections. For most of the 20th century medics affiliated with each branch of the U.S. military services have recommended that servicemen reduce their risk of getting and spreading syphilis and gonorrhea by washing their genitals with soap and water after non-marital sexual intercourse. Since 1996 leading private healthcare providers ranging from the authors of "The Handbook of HIV Infection" produced by affiliates of Johns Hopkins University to the American Association of Family Physicians have recommended that condom use be supplemented with post-sex washing to prevent STDs. In 2006 Professor King K. Holmes, M.D., Ph.D., generally considered the dean of STDS studies in the U.S.A., led a team based in Kenya which conducted the first scientific studies of poor men who practiced post-sex hygiene. In September of 2006 the statistical study that associated such washing with REDUCED risk of HIV infections was published in the respected "Journal of AIDS." The U.S. National Institutes of Health responded by requesting proposals for a comprehensive studies of genital hygiene and HIV infections. What was shown to be true for poor Kenyan men has broader implications. The most feasible way of "fighting HIV in African Americans" might well be post-sex penile, vulval/vaginal, and anal/rectal hygiene. Then the question becomes: Why have so many professionals and so many advocates out to beat HIV/AIDS overlooked this obvious protection technique, at such great cost, for more than 25 years? How can so many people devoting so much of their lives to AIDS prevention remain so oblivious about the most feasible approach to achieving this goal?
