Some superstitions around HIV

While scrolling down my FB page, I encounter a lot of images, that tells a story of HIV-AIDS and few Superstitions associated with HIV- Aids. Look at these images below and a story.

Look at the story below

“Hai Friends,

It’s in India – Karnataka – Bangalore
A 10-year-old boy had eaten pineapple about 15 days back, and fell sick, from the day he had eaten. Later when he had his Health check done…… doctors diagnosed that he had AIDS.
His parents couldn’t believe it…Then the entire family underwent a checkup… none of them suffered from Aids. So the doctors checked again with the boy if he had eaten out…..The boy said ‘Yes’. He had pineapple that evening. Immediately a group from the hospital went to the pineapple vendor to check. They found the pineapple seller had a cut on his finger while cutting the pineapple; his blood had spread into the fruit.
When they had his blood checked…the guy was suffering from AIDS…but he himself was NOT aware. Unfortunately, the boy is now suffering from it.

 What Kind of non-sense!  these images and stories, spreading the real non-sense that could increase the fear about HIV in the cerebrum of a layman, who thinks, HIV is deadly dangerous.

These posts fluttering in social the site, made me clarify few superstitions and fears about HIV.

HIV cannot be spread by juices or by fruits that are fed with HIV particles, It can only be transmitted through natural body fluid exchange, which indirectly means contact with blood, sperm, female ejaculations, breast milk.

Kissing a girl is never a comparison for spreading HIV, because, at least litres of Saliva; which means one should smooch each other for at least a day without any disturbances.

Moreover, HIV is transmitted to Gays and lesbians.

HIV is definitely not curable but definitely can be prevented.

In-fact! HIV is not a disease on itself, but it triggers all the other diseases, such that, even a common cold will be threat-full; for HIV patient to sustain.

Healthy life definitely is the solution to HIV, and, it’s a medicine to HIV , where, HIV patient can also leave like a healthy individual.
