    I think the millions that are being used on the illegals in this country should be used. It's just a waste of money since they don't contribute much except taking out money. Also I would say use it for 2. There is already a breakthrough in HIV/AIDs treatments. One man was cured with a bone marrow treatment and just a year ago scientists have found a gel that reduces risk for HIV transmission to women. If we put more money in it we might be able to create a vaccine.

    Do you seriously live in this country? Oh well lets see all those free programs they use that hand out money. They also don't pay taxes so thats more money lost now obama makes it even harder to deport them and is making more programs to give them money. Though I did make a mistake. It's in the billions. This is just one state.

    what a ridiculous set of questions. Is this some kind of home-schooled project?

    How about spending money on basic research?

    The very short-term 3 and educate people to use condoms - male and female - but that isn't allowed by the christofascists.

    Failing that the second line is vaccination and treat it like small-pox every outbreak is clamped down on hard and vaccinated - we could wipe it out in 50 years

    AIDS orphans? Good luck there. Waste of money anyhow.

    Gates' has the right idea, search for a vaccine, search for a cure.

    " If not congenital, there are only 2 ways to get it -- sex and drugs. Both are acts of one's own stupidity."

    And the hemophiliacs, blood recipients, the crazy way in the US they pay people to donate blood. You're ignorant. You could get it the next time you have unprotected sex.

    "I think the millions that are being used on the illegals in this country should be used. "

    What money would that be?

    The crops are all in, the fields are rotting

    the oranges are piled in their creosote dumps ...

    -no females clergymen ... clergymen function a "type" of Christ. each and every of the previous testomony patriarchs have been clergymen. not one of the females have been. The previous testomony Levitical priesthood became constituted completely of adult adult males. Christ is a guy, not a woman. Jesus under no circumstances chosen any woman apostles. The church has under no circumstances ordained any woman deacons, clergymen, or bishops simply by fact our ultimate data tells us that God prefers it this variety. Case closed. - infants are born sinners The doctrine of unique sin explains why all of us choose a holy redeemer. Mankind's legacy is sin. It became all that Adam had left to grant us after he became willingly swindled and enslaved by using devil. Adam's sin led to all mankind being enslaved to devil to boot. everybody who is conscious slavery knows that any one born of a slave is a slave, and is born into the domination of the comparable slave holder. This became, and nonetheless is an actual to universally nicely-known reality of the Christian faith. i'm bowled over you don't comprehend it. - no stem cellular examine No EMBRYONIC stem cellular examine. A human embryo is a tiny guy or woman, physique, soul, suggestions. no person has the final suited to interrupt yet another existence. it is the comparable difficulty as abortion. examine with different varieties of stem cells is effective and reasons no modern issues. - no condoms to circumvent the unfold of HIV/AIDS Condoms can't ward off HIV/AIDS. Condoms fail as much as 40% of the time. If airplanes labored that poorly, no you may actually ever purchase a fee ticket. If the area commute had a protection checklist that undesirable, no astronaut could conform to journey in it. if your pc failed that many times, you're growing to be to be under no circumstances controlled to bypass surfing to the cyber web. If a pair trusted a condom for HIV protection, AIDS could be transmitted in 4 out of each and every 10 encounters. How is this sensible against the unfold of HIV? to your preparation, God has spoken to each pope, and the instructions of the Catholic church signify all that God has revealed to mankind for our salvation. who's been whispering on your ear?

    Don't share needles and don't have unprotected sex. If everybody would just commit to those two things, HIV would burn itself out within the span of a few generations.

    Also, Mr. Nitram- fascism is forcing your will upon others. If you're forcing Xtians to fund things they find objectionable with their tax dollars (regardless of how special you think the cause might be), then it's *you* who are the fascist.

    Educate on prevention. Anyone who has AIDS is because of their own fault, unless they were born with it. If not congenital, there are only 2 ways to get it -- sex and drugs. Both are acts of one's own stupidity. Why should we pay for their mistakes? So, educating on prevention is the only thing that makes any sense.

    The person who commented below is an idiot. Aids is not their own fault, you silly cow. Rape? Inherited? Nobody telling you? Living in poverty? You're sickening.

    Anyway, a mixture of all these. Prodominantly education.

    2 and 3 are the best options. You wouldn't sink all your money into one or the other.
