| | AIDS education and HIV positive People |
 | | Many HIV positive people are keen to share their stories, as many do on this website, often telling their stories of how they became infected to warn people who are not HIV positive about the risks they may be running. | | | People can react to learning that they are HIV positive in many different ways, but counselling is an important part of helping people to deal with the result and informing them about what it means. | | | HIV positive people have an important role to play in educating the rest of the population, and many HIV positive people have provided role-models for other people who have HIV, and made the general public aware of the fact that HIV can affect anyone. |

| | For years HIV reinfection (or superinfection, as it is sometimes called) has been theorized as a consequence of unprotected sexual encounters between two HIV infected people. | | | Now, HIV stays in the body for years, infecting people through unsafe sex, blood transfusions and breastfeeding of infants while the patient sometimes doesn't know. | | | HIV is sometimes transmitted from mother to unborn child, but not always. |

| | Counseling reduces risky behavior in HIV-positive people |
| | A year after receiving behavioral counseling about risky sexual behavior, HIV-positive people had two-thirds fewer episodes of unprotected sex with HIV-negative individuals or those who do not know their status, according to new research. | | | The 387 individuals, mostly white, male and gay or bisexual, were chosen at random to receive one of three different behavioral interventions that focused on using condoms, negotiating safer sex practices and telling their partners about their HIV-positive status. | | | The researchers say they still don't know whether these behavior changes were related to HIV infection rates among the participants' partners. |
