carrying the HIV (Human Imumuno-deficiency Virus) in the bloodstream. HIV is believed to be the major cause of AIDS (Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome). When you get a positive result on your HIV test, it is not something to celebrate, since it means you are infected. HIV is passed most commonly by screwing/being screwed without a condom or via needles. Very rarely it is passed by oral sex, and only then when there are bleeding gums. The following map distorts the size of countries relative to how prevalent HIV is there. It seems the more a country denies it has a problem, the bigger the problem actually is.
