Aids Quotes
In the early '90s, I was hired to write educational dramas about HIV and AIDS in the shantytowns. I did that for two and a half years, and then I was hired on other films. When 'Tsotsi' presented itself, I thought, 'This is not a world I grew up in, but I've spent a great deal of time writing about it and researching it in my past.'

Case Quotes
Even though it is the case that poverty is linked to AIDS, in the sense that Africa is poor and they have a lot of AIDS, it's not necessarily the case that improving poverty - at least in the short run, that improving exports and improving development - it's not necessarily the case that that's going to lead to a decline in HIV prevalence.

Aids Day Quotes
When I first found out I had HIV, I had to find somebody who was living with it, who could help me understand my journey and what I was going to have to deal with day-to-day. I found out that a person named Elizabeth Frazier was living with AIDS at the time, and so I called her up, and she took a meeting with me.

Viruses Quotes
The nature of a protective immune response to HIV is still unclear. Because in a very, very unique manner, unlike virtually any other microbe with which we're familiar, the HIV virus has evolved in a way that the immune system finds it very difficult, if not impossible, to deal with the virus.

Cover Quotes
We've actually, on occasion, had a few things over evening times, like HIV screenings or flu shot clinics, but they really weren't that well-attended. We've tossed it around, but at this moment we felt like we didn't have the staff to cover those, especially if we kept the existing hours that we have.

Guiding Quotes
I feel that sex should be part of something more meaningful than just being something casual. Television should be a little more responsible because today you can get HIV or you can get pregnant if you don't have someone guiding you along. I'm not a prude, but I think the television industry has a responsibility to the community, especially the teenage community.

Means Quotes
Look at our population here. People come from all over the country: urban areas, rural areas, suburban areas. We also have international students here. If you look at the national statistics, and you look at correlation and probability, that means that possibly one in 200 students here could be HIV positive.

Husband Quotes
I have friends of mine who have died of AIDS and many of those friends...did not tell me until the very end...because they felt that there was a stigma, a taboo, attached to it...now we have more women infected with HIV/AIDS, many of those women were infected by their husbands who did not tell them

Believe Quotes
That's the interesting part of the story. We believe when this theft was carried out, the person didn't know what they were stealing. Maybe when they had left the hospital and read the label, which identified the blood as HIV positive, they took the effort to put them somewhere where someone wouldn't be harmed.

Bill Quotes
Microbicides could well be the first HIV prevention method that allows women to fight HIV-infection on their own. Even a partially effective microbicide could stop the infections of 2.5 million women over three years. This bi-partisan bill may be able to save a generation of women by developing this promising new preventive option,

Assault Quotes
The decision sends a message that in respect to people who are infected with the HIV virus, that it is an aggravated sexual assault for them to have unprotected sexual intercourse with a woman without disclosing ? or with a man for that matter ? without disclosing the fact that they are HIV positive.
-
Generations Quotes
My first understanding of HIV and AIDS was like everybody else from my generation. In the mid-'80s, we heard about this, and it was terrifying, because we knew nothing about how to respond to it appropriately, and we didn't really understand about how the virus is passed. There was a lot of misconception about that.

Africa Quotes
There have been many predictions, mostly based on guesswork, that India's AIDS problem will explode -- as it did in southern Africa -- but we now have direct evidence of something positive. The good news is that HIV in young adults appears to be declining in the south -- most likely or perhaps only due to men keeping away from (sex workers) or using condoms more often when they do. The not-so-good news is that trends in the north remain uncertain and poorly studied.
