Caribbean and AIDS

There are regions of the world where religion or society is so that there is a status attached to anything deemed uncouth. In the Caribbean if a person is infected with AIDS that person is viewed as less then a person, much the same way that thousands of years ago a person with body rout would have been viewed. It's sad to think that a person would be so scared to be tested that they don't and end up spreading AIDS because they value the societies view of dignity over the protection for the people they love. This is the stigma that I talked about before. This stigma is on the way out. Over the last few years we have seen real change not just in our country but around the world. The world is shrinking and as such every bodies old views will have to mold and adapt. People will become more understanding and respectful , but until then people need to provide ways to help without forcing beliefs on other cultures.
