*Millions* of people contracted HIV as children. Either as infants, or as victims of sexual assault. That's not an "edge case". And tens of millions of people were infected in countries where testing wasn't/isn't available. That's not an "edge case" either. Or the millions who got infected because they didn't have access to accurate information/education about what HIV was or how it spread.
- foobiekr 3y agoYes, but that has nothing to do with the new cases for the last 10 years. Sexual assault isn't where the cases are coming from.
- MichaelNolan 3y agoThat last 10 years has still seen millions of babies getting hiv through vertical infections. 2022, the best year on record, still had 120,000 children/babies infected.
