This is not the case at all, and is a major misconception. This misinformation could easily be dispelled if the government established a nationwide volunteer program in the United States, which could eventually expand and help neighboring countries around the world. For example, a company might recruit volunteers, particularly HIV/AIDS survivors, or people who can speak about their personal experience of knowing someone who had or has HIV/AIDS. These volunteers could then go into schools and provide an overview of what the disease is, discuss the many methods by which it can be contracted, the many myths and misconceptions about the disease, and prevention tips. The fact that some diseases, including HIV, can be contracted through bodily fluids is barely discussed, which is problematic because many believe they are transmitted strictly through sex. Unfortunately, people with the condition are known to have been shamed because of it, and volunteers from a helpful government-funded program could potentially educate people of all ages about the issues presented and help reduce stigma of the disease in places such as South Africa. Of course, businesses like the Y-Center have existed before, but failed to touch what was thriving in the South African community. “…sex was openly discussed at the Y-Center, [but] the experience of AIDS was not,” (115).
