How can we deal with the increase in HIV cases?

And why HIV is a preventable and survivable disease

- 

The alarming increase in HIV cases of more than 500 percent among Filipino youth has led to a lot of angst and finger-pointing among different groups. Some religious organizations said that it was people's bad choices that caused this unprecedented rise in cases. Some advocacy groups declared that the rise is not really all that concerning because it is a result of increased testing, and so it's actually a good thing. There have been a lot of accusations and acrimonious statements made, especially on social media, and it is muddying the issue further. People are dying, and all this bickering is not going to help and may in fact, make it worse.
