HIV Raises Society’s Taboos

Danny West is a trainer, coach, and leadership consultant, has been living with HIV for the past 24 years, and remains healthy today. He realized early on that HIV is just another virus; after HIV, there will be other viruses. But HIV is “unique” in that it raises society’s taboos such as death, dying, sex, sexuality, addiction, disability, and illness—all the things people are reluctant to talk about. So it’s no surprise that people are reluctant to learn about HIV and seek out up-to-date, accurate information about it. This problem perpetuates the epidemic.
