what more can be done to get the word out than is already being done? if we as a community are failing so miserably what is the answer? does anyone out there know anyone that is either a bug chaser or a gift giver---or does anybody know anybody that knows anybody that is one?

I certainly don't know anyone who actively seeks to become HIV+; I think(hope and pray) that's as rare as avid players of Russian Roulette. What's more frightening to me is the incredible number of people (especially teens) who feel as Justin's group kids do: "It won't happen to me and, if it does, it's not that big a deal anymore." Those are the ones we really need to reach and orient to reality.

I have wondered for years now: what MORE information about the spreading and contracting of hiv could possibly be made available or made more generally(ubiquitously) accessible?

reflecting on the fact that the info on spreading, contracting and avoiding hiv infection has been very much before the public for years, I despair of a way to orient those who don't seem to be concerned.

Good questions, the info is certainly available. One thing that I've been trying with the boys is role playing, where they can practice negoitiating sexual activity. I've done this with the daughters too, although they are supposed to smack the guy and run

Perhaps teens need to actually meet someone in the later stages of AIDS to make the reality of the disease clear.
