I don't even have to watch Oprah to know what goes on with HIV in women...
After having planned 2 Health Forums where HIV/AIDS is discussed often, I really think our options are limited.
Sexual libido is an extreme strong "feeling" and very difficult "overcome". Some people are strong willed, but most people are sex-crazed maniacs who get busy with a tree if they could.
Having illicit sex with multiple sex partners not only increases one's HIV and STI risk, it also misaligns the neural pathways in the brain. Sex is just as addictive as heroin, crack cocaine and ecstasy...
So in someways, illicit sex with multiple partners has to addressed from an addiction medicine/mental healthcare perspective...
