Why hasn the government been able to control the AIDS epidemic?
A. Successful control of any epidemic requires the use of established Public Health principles, namely widespread testing of those at risk for the particular disease and protection of the uninfected. In the case of AIDS, the government and organized medicine have decided to disregard all established public health principles for controlling an epidemic. Instead AIDS is being handled as a political issue rather than a public health issue. In this disease, the government has chosen to protect the infected and abandon the uninfected.
