This comment is completely contrary to the actual science of HIV prevention . Persons with HIV who are tested and treated with life saving treatments are far less likely to transmit HIV infection than those left untreated. In fact if every single Bahamian living with HIV was tested and treated and if the entire populace was adequately educated about HIV the transmission rate would approach and perhaps be reduced to 0. The ignorance and stigmatization evidenced by comments like this directly contributes to the "catastrophic situation" that has been going on for 30 years.
