Summary

Introduction

World Health Organization (WHO), 1948 stated health is more than the absence of diseases, as a negative definition of health will never entail the positive aspects of possessing health. Bharat (2002) has pointed out an acknowledged truism known throughout the world that those individuals most affected by HIV are the most disadvantaged in terms of race, economic status, age, sexual orientation or gender [1,2,3]. He documented how the nearly two decades-old global history of the HIV epidemic undergirds once again the well-established interplay of disease, stigma and identities gone bad based on race, ethnicity, and sexuality. Most of them will live in disbelief that they could be at risk for HIV, and so are reluctant to try new preventative treatments such as PrEP
