The recent XVII International AIDS Conference in Mexico City covered many interesting topics, including up-to-date medical treatments and the impressive increases in programs to address the AIDS calamity in Africa.  Conspicuously absent was any discussion about the psychological vicissitudes experienced by AIDS victims, and their loved ones, in the developed world. In the last twenty-five years, Americans have struggled with the disease both medically and psychologically as AIDS patients have transited from shame through acceptance and on to self-respect.

For teenaged sufferers in particular, the stress created by this social pressure can cause low self-esteem and low self-image that continue to affect people long after they have reached adulthood.

Of course, someone may consider my arguments superficial…. Click Here to Read More
