Ignorance

Yesterday, while surfing through channels on TV, I stopped at MTV for a moment to hear one of the most outrageous and disappointing things ever! They were questioning a few people on the streets about HIV/AIDS and a woman somewhere between 18-24, supposedly educated, said that the virus spreads through mosquito bites.

Did you get her email address by any chance? Her inbox should be spammed with that "In a movie hall, a needle with HIV virus was kept..." email.

I had one such guy in my MBA coaching once who thought being HIV+ means having AIDS and that it spreads by being close to an HIV+ person.

It's just so sad yaar. These myths are nothing new, but it's still so hard to make people understand the realities.
