I worked on a Cancer study with Senegal, West Africa being our biggest collaborators. One of the biggest myths is that if you are HIV positive and have sex with a virgin (even if that is a 2 month old virgin!), your HIV will be cured. Our University worked and still works very carefully with them to get them the necessary resources for education, prevention, diagnosis and treatments. Unfortunately, it is still baby steps over there.
