Activists Criticise CDC.

In the health care field, activists are those who want a bigger share of the money pie. With the recent news that CDC undercounted the prevalence of HIV positives in the US activists want more money thrown at a program where everything reasonable is already being done. Their complaint is that more money must spent on prevention. Dr, Fauci has laid out in recent articles in "Science" why developing a vaccine is so difficult. For the rest, prevention is based on individual action. HIV infection is 99% preventable by minimizing multiple sex partners, use of condoms, testing for hIV if one's behavior puts you at risk. We do not know how to change sexual behavior. I have seen many groups try since the end of WW II, when we thought penicillin would end STDs, it has not, Instead of activists screaming ar government they must work closely with high risk groups and attempt to change their behaviors. Until they have some success at this they should keep quiet.
