Haley and Mike HIV nudge talk.

Our group was Haley and I and our subject was to find a solution to HIV awareness in Sub Saharan Africa and Asia. What we came up with, which was similar to other groups, was a push for education, information, and  availability. We talked about education children about the effects and dangers of HIV and how to prevent them. We need to also overcome a cultural stigma against HIV culture. Many people in these places see HIV talk as taboo and don't address it, when it is a serious problem that needs to be solved. We also talked about having condoms and other information about protection to be easily accessible, and also anonymous incase people don't want to be seen getting the help. When people can easily get help they are more likely to. We also mentioned that maybe we could incorporate mothers preventing their children from getting HIV by getting the mothers and fathers tested. This would give the parents incentive to get tested as to not hurt their children.
