Abstract
- This article presents ten myths about the spread of HIV around the world that are harming preventive efforts. The first myth is that HIV spreads like wildfire which it does not. Other myths look at condoms, treatment and technological advances as excuses not to practice safe sex. The author says that one priority to stop the spread of the disease, must be education on the risk of having multiple sexual partners.
